Displaying Profit/Loss on Chart in a Strategy

[rcsingleton]

Hello.

I'm writing a strategy to keep track of cumulative profit and loss.

I want to have a real time display of the profit and loss on the chart while the strategy is running.

Would you have a code snippet lying around that would accomplish that?

Regards,
R. C.

RC, what kind of Pnl? The one of the current open position, this would be simply be GetProfitLoss() - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...rofitLoss.html

For example for the daily one, or the RealTimeTrades taken one since strategy start, you would need to work with the Performance class -

Thanks for the reply.

I will take a look at that information. But I really was interested in some help with the code to display the profit and loss on the chart.

So as an example, lets say I have a strategy running against SIM101, and I want to test out the strategy against the ES real time data for the day.

As the trades are being executed, managed, and closed out, I want the profit and loss displayed, in a large font, on the chart. Not just to the output window.

So in the upper left corner of the chart, I would like the following displayed and updated:

ProfitnLoss for closed trades : (displayed in currency)
ProfitnLoss for open trades : (displayed in currency)

Can you direct me to the code that handles putting that display on the chart?

Thanks

RC, as an example for the current open PnL and closed realtime Pnl you could add this to your strategy -

 
 
if (Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat) 
{
DrawTextFixed("PnL1", "Open PnL: " + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency), TextPosition.TopLeft); 
DrawTextFixed("PnL2", "Closed PnL: " + Performance.RealtimeTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit.ToString(), TextPosition.TopRight); 
}

That's what I needed.

Thanks much
