Hello SC Team.

I can show the current position for chart.
I use two study below.
Trading:Position Study.
Text Display for Study.

However I couldn't show the current position on the DOM same way.
Could you describe if SC has the ability to show the current position text on the DOM left above corner?
I'd like to show my current position like "Trading: Profit/Loss Text" study.

I know the trading window and price ladder show my current position, that is not my solution.

Thank you.

I am unable to figure out how to display open positions at all on the "chart DOM", same way as it is working on the charts.

When the price far away from my position, then I can not see my position.
Please see the attached image.

You won't be getting an answer from SC on this as it is marked a user discussion.

You can add a custom study and use the "Text display for Study" from the list in "Sierra chart custom studies and examples"

Check the documentation snippet here:

Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Adding Studies on a Trade DOM

as a side note: position is already visible in yr pic. as +4@. on current price.

Kind regards,
