Hi SC Support,

I'm using the study 'Trading: Profit/Loss Text' and it has been very helpful seeing the max open loss on my chart. What would also be extremely helpful is to see the daily max drawdown and to a lesser degree the max runup also able to be displayed on the screen using this study; however, this is not offered. Any chance they can be added or do I need to hire a programmer to do this?

BTW - I have tried the stand-alone studies 'Trading: Maximum Drawdown & Runup; however, these require their own chart region and this is quite clunky way to simply get a look at these numbers. Also tried making these chart region 1, my main graph region; however, the number goes away and all I get is the line.

Any ideas on how I can get daily maximum drawdown and maximum runup numbers to display in chart region one?

Thank you,
-Rick

Use the Text Display for Study study.

Thanks Tom - A bit clunky, but it worked. Would be nice if SC would simply add these two to the study 'Trading: Profit/Loss Text'

since trading profit/loss text study can display current max open loss, I am wondering if it is possible to refer the number in an alert condition?

The "Trading: Profit/Loss Text" does not have any subgraphs, so the information is not exposed and therefore is not available in an alert.
