I want to see the running P&L plotted on the chart to see how my stratergy is performing in realtime. Is there an indicator or a code block i can use to show this? Please let me know. I am using Ninjatrader 8. Thanks in advance.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
You can see both realized and unrealized profit in the Strategies tab of the Control Center Window.
If you want to print it on the chart itself you can use the Draw.Text function and print out 'Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(...).ToString()' on every bar close or some multiple of that. Check the documentation for specific syntax and required parameters for these functions.
I was having a problem with my Ninja Trader 8 platform keeping up not only with the P/L but also the actual chart data.
This is what I finally did. I found this indicator in the downloads section called TickRefresh. I added it to my range chart, which I found was using more data than time based charts. In the parameters of the TickRefresh indicator, I set the Refresh Time Interval to 100 milliseconds. I no longer have a problem with my P/L reporting improperly or my chart keeping up with the data. Hope this helps. And much thanks to the creator of the TickRefresh indicator.
