Looking for indicator to show PnL on the chart

[MatthewLesko]

Does anyone have code or jump start code I can use to try and get an basic indicator for my trading.
What I'm looking to do simply is for my account, say "Sim101" for example, reflect my currently Total PnL onto the Chart like in large text in the top left corner or something.

Hello MatthewLesko,

I am not aware of a specific item that matches that description but you could access that data in code. Are you looking for the total realized or unrealized pnl on the account? And is that for the instrument the indicator is applied to or total including all instruments?

Hello MatthewLesko,

You can use the addon frameworks account class for that. The first link below shows how to find an account and save it to a variable. The second link would use that variable and the accounts Get method to get account values. You can use AccountItem.UnrealizedProfitLoss to get the unrealized pnl.

Awesome thanks I'll try it out. Getting my floating text to move where I wanted to was not working out.
