SC:

I have DOM's and charts in my chartbook. The DOMs have the current trade Profit / Loss displayed on them, as well as the Net P/L for the day. How do I get the same info to display on my charts? I have the NPL line in currency displayed, but, I can't figure out how to also display the current trades Profit on Loss on the charts, the same way it shows on the DOMs.

Sierra Charts are the best, in my opinion.

Try the study called "Trading: Profit/Loss Text".

if you are into coding, this function is really handy:

You can close this question, SC. That info that bradh and Tony posted are exactly what I need. Sierra Charts are the best, in my opinion; and, I have no financial interest in SC. Just stating my opinion.
