How to plot another position display in the chart?

[Zombie]

Would you have any examples that show how to plot another position display in the chart? This would be something similar to the ChartTrader's Position Display.

I tried playing with the NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.PositionDisplay class from an indicator's OnRender() method but could not render it on the chart.

Hello Zombie, thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums.

The PositionDisplay tools is not documented, so I can not give any more info on how that works or how to use it. Some examples that come to mind are the Position Display indicator from the app share site:

And also WPF modification examples from our colleague Chelsea:

Please let me know If I can assist any further.

Chris, thanks for your reply.

I now am able to render something in the chart.

Is it possible share how the PnL box width is calculated so I can replicate it?

It seems to depend on the font size as well as on the position quantity. These three ranges have different widths:

- Position quantity < 5,
- 5 <= Position quantity < 50
- Position quantity >= 50

Thanks

Hello Zombie thanks for the follow up.

Unfortunately, this type of modification goes outside of the scope of support I am able to provide. Our colleague Chelsea has made some examples here that modify existing WPF elements in the platform, it would be a good reference if you are adding custom controls to the chart:

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.
