Hello max1ci6,


Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.


You could possibly be referring to the display of the Unrealized PnL. Please visit the following link to view how to change this.

Not really , something like this attached .
This should be plot by an indicator and be moved as long as the chart updates to stay in the same position.

Hello max1ci6,



Thank you for the clarification.


The only indicator that I can see potentially being used could be the 'Tick Counter' however this does not give you the option to customize in dollars.


In this case, I recommend checking out the NinjaTrader Ecosystem and search for tools that might better suit your needs.

I had a look to the tick counter indicator which could be modified but I am not fluent enough in C# , I think I need 3 variables : one to store the Point Value of the instrument, one to store the tick size of the instrument , and a string variable to store the result of multiplying the first two variables as string .
Then plot the string on the chart.
It seems not too difficult for someone fluent with the language .
I just don't know how to access the Point Value e the Tick Size of the instrument via code .

After tinkering a little bit I was able to make an indicator.
