Re: real time upating of position P/L

[Howard Jackson <hrjf4@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can have the indicator write it on the screen by
doing this:

Inputs: EntryPr(0), NumContr(0), PtVal(250);
Vars: Profits(0);
Profits = (Close - EntryPr)*NumContr*PtVal;
Plot1(Profits, "Profit/Loss");
Plot2(0, "Breakeven");
If BarNumber = 1 then
   value1 = Text_New(date, time, high*1.01,
NumToStr(profits,2))
else begin
   value2 = Text_SetLocation(value1, Date, Time,
High*1.01);
   value2 = Text_SetString(value1,
NumToStr(profits,2));
end;
