Label with current position info

[Powerbucker]

Hi,

I need plot current open position (ticks, sl distance, etc) with a label

Could I do this from addon (so I have the position info in realtime)?

If I do this

private void OnPositionUpdate(object sender, PositionEventArgs e)
{
// Output the new position

Draw.TextFixed(this, "Info", "Position info", TextPosition.BottomLeft);

I get an error for using "this"

If I do this from indicator (OnBarUpdate), how can I get the Position info?

Hello Powerbucker,

An addon cannot draw on the chart, you would need to use an indicator and apply the indicator to the chart where you want that visible. You can subscribe to position updates using the addon framework account class inside the indicator.
