P&L indicator for NT7 or NT8

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;

}

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!
