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.

Hi,

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.

Hope that helps.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...

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.

Thanks All for your inputs. I tried to download from that link but its hanging did anyone try to download?

I've attached my copy... it is the CS file so you will need to drop it into the Indicator folder.

Thank you very much, It worked.

Please can you add for me something like "AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Blue), PlotStyle.Bar, "unRealizedPnL");"

I need to call "unRealizedPnL" in BloodHound or in a strategy to manage the money management in hedging positions.

Thank you so much if you are able to do that.

The total PnL on the chart would be nice

@chupa2222,

Good news: this is definitely doable. Here's the pattern to build a custom indicator that exposes unrealized PnL as a named series BloodHound can reference:

In OnStateChange() during State.SetDefaults:

 

Code

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Blue), PlotStyle.Bar, "unRealizedPnL");

In OnBarUpdate():

 

Code

// For the specific instrument this indicator is on: Values[0][0] = Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit.Currency, Close[0]); // For account-wide P&L across all hedging positions: // Values[0][0] = PositionAccount.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit.Currency, Close[0]);

Once the indicator is added to your chart, the "unRealizedPnL" series will appear in BloodHound's input selector -- you can then wire it into your money management conditions for hedging logic.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Position vs. PositionAccount -- Use Position for the single instrument the indicator lives on. Use PositionAccount if you need the total unrealized P&L across all open positions in the account.
• The indicator must be applied to the same chart/instrument where the position is open so NT8 can read the position data.
• Swap PlotStyle.Bar for PlotStyle.Line if you'd prefer a line plot instead.

Not 100% certain on the exact BloodHound UI steps for connecting a custom indicator series in your specific version -- if anything looks off, @NinjaTrader's support or their NT8 help guide should have the latest workflow.
