Does anything exist like this on the forum? A profit and loss indicator that you can place on your chart?



If not, can someone point me in the right direction as far as starting to code this as a custom indicator?

Here is a method I'm using, you'll have to add the plot but that's basically it.
 
Code
                            
private bool findPosition(string accountstring myInstrument) {        

  
double avgprice 0.0;
  
int posCountquantity;
  
String accNamedfullnameposition;
  for (
int i=0;<= NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts.Count 1i++) {
    
accName NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Name;
    if (
accName == account) {
      
posCount NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Orders.Positions.Count;
      for(
int j=0;j<posCount;j++) {
        
int p=NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Positions.Count;
        for (
int k=0;k<p;k++){                            
           
avgprice NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Positions[k].AvgPrice;
           
fullname NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Positions[k].Instrument.FullName;
           
position NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Positions[k].MarketPosition.ToString();
           
quantity NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[i].Positions[k].Quantity;
                            
           if (
fullname == myInstrument) {
             Print(
"You're already "+quantity+" "+position+" at "+avgprice+" for "+fullname+" account: "+accName);
               return 
false;
           }
         }
       }
       
int z=0;
     }
   }
return 
true;

Do you have a full example of a coded strategy with this included? I'm new to coding, and it would help to see something complete so I can see where everything should be placed. Thanks for sending this along though. It tells me it's a bit more complicated than I had anticipated, but nonetheless, worth diving into to see if I can make it work in the end.

Cheers!
