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 account, string myInstrument) {           double avgprice = 0.0;   int posCount, quantity;   String accName, d, fullname, position;   for (int i=0;i <= NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts.Count - 1; i++) {     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!
