Hello set2win,

Thanks for your post.

The Alert() method would be used to trigger an alert in a NinjaScript.

Alert(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt8/alert.htm

Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss() could be used to get the unrealized PnL for the strategy position. You could consider checking if you are in a long or short market position using Position.MarketPosition and saving Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss() to a custom Series<double> variable named something like 'unrealizedPnL'.

Then, you could check if the previous unrealizedPnL variable value (unrealizedPnL[1]) is greater than or less than the current unrealized PnL variable value (unrealizedPnL[0]) and call your Alert() method in that condition.

This will allow you to see if the current Unrealized PnL value of the position is above or below the previous Unrealized PnL value.

Hi, don't think you understood. Trying to create a label and audio alert, i know how to do those. if stop is first placed on a Long below the fill at 15 ticks, price moves down
then i move the stop to 25 ticks away, i want to monitor the stopprice, each time it is movesd so that i clearly see the amount of risk in dollars

Hello set2win,

Thanks for your notes.

OnOrderUpdate() could be used to track order objects and get the stopPrice information of an order when the price changes. This event-driven method is called when an order managed by a strategy changes state. An order will change state when a change in order quantity, price or state (working to filled) occurs.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
