Realized Profit on Open Trade

[sgordet]

When trading a position in which you've closed some of the contracts, is there a Market Analyzer or Account Data stat for the realized profits for the closed portion of the position?

Hello sgordet,

Thank you for your reply.

If you're scaling out of a position, any profit or loss from each time you scale out would be reflected in the Realized PnL column of the accounts tab as you scale the position.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

That number includes all my day's trades for the instrument, and I only want to see the realized profit I've achieved for the trade that's currently open.

Hello sgordet,

Thank you for your reply.

It would be possible to program an indicator or addon that would monitor the account position and calculate the total realized PnL from the position from the time it is place to the time it goes back to flat, however, nothing in the platform would be able to show you that amount of realized PnL out of the box. NinjaTrader pairs trades first in - first out in the database. So if we're scaling out of a 5 quantity position one at a time, NinjaTrader would calculate the realized pnl for each scale out separately and would not be able to provide an overall Realized PnL for the entire scale out.

If you're interested in learning to create NinjaScript indicators and other addons yourself, I'm happy to provide resources to help you learn.

If you are interested in services in having the code written for you, I can have a representative of our EcoSystem reach out with more information on NinjaScript consultants who will be happy to do so.
