Unrealized PnL on Chart

[music_p13]

Hello Josh,

I have tried - and can see the "Unrealized PNL" - but it shows total unrealized PNL for account.

So if I have position on 2 instruments (on different charts) - it shows total unrealized PNL for both instruments combined.

How can I see unrealized PNL per instrument using Indicator? (doesn't matter, per chart which will only have 1 instrument or per instrument regardless of chart).

Thanks

I am looking into this with QA to see if this is possible and will report back here when I have more information.

As an alternative idea - it is probably possible to run "Helper" strategy that will monitor account position... and will update static values in add-on - and an indicator could read these values...

If it is possible - could you please provide a sample on how to accomplish it? And I also assume there will be no lagging since strategy and indicators will be synchronized based on bar close...

Thanks

Hello,

Any updates on this?

Thanks

I am still looking at this. I'll post here when I have more information.

While the AccountItemUpdate feed does not associate UPnL to instruments, the PositionUpdate feed does. As well, Strategies have their own internal Positions series. I am including a sample which demonstrates using each of these.

If the indicators logic and event handlers were input into a strategy, the entire events to print the PnL were either chosen to occur through a user defined bool, what will the syntax under namespace "private Account myAccount" be in a strategy?

Hello LoganJKTrader,

If you want to access the Account that we apply the strategy to, you can simply use "Account"

I.E.

Print(Account.Name);

Subscribing to Account.PositionUpdate in a strategy would look like the following in State.DataLoaded

if (Account != null)
Account.PoisitionUpdate += MyAccountLevelOnPositionUpdateMethod;

Unsubscribing in State.Terminated would look like:

if (Account != null)
Account.PoisitionUpdate -= MyAccountLevelOnPositionUpdateMethod;
