Hello MichaelAlexander,

Thanks for writing in to our Support team.

You would need to create a variable to hold the information for your last trade and convert the double value to a string to provide as an argument to the Draw.Text() method. You will need to utilize the Trade and TradeCollection objects to achieve this. Here is a short code sample for your reference:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (SystemPerformance.RealTimeTrades.Count > 0)
{
// this line will assign the most recent trade to the lastTrade object
Trade lastTrade = SystemPerformance.RealTimeTrades[SystemPerformance.RealTimeTrades.Count -1];
// this line will convert the last trade's profit quoted in currency to a string
string lastProfitCurrency = lastTrade.ProfitCurrency.ToString();
// this line will draw the last trade's profit quoted in currency on your chart
Draw.Text(this, "Profit of last trade", lastProfitCurrency, 10, 1000, Brushes.Black);
}
}
