Hi SC,
can you please add the P/L column to the orders and position window?
this would be useful for those clients who trade multiple commodities and may hold some positions for days.
this avoids the need to have the broker window open or to go to each individual chart to see real time P/L for each position
i realise that this is irrelevant to clients who trade 1-2 markets and who day trade and are therefore watching it on the DOM. but for swing traders trading multiple contracts, this would be very much appreciated.
thanks,
M

thanks SC but the documentation relates to historical documentation of trades and would be useful for long term analysis of past trades.
what i was referring to was a column showing real time P/L on open positions.
imagine a trader with a position in KC, ZN, GC, ZC
these 4 open positions have unrealised P/L
as a multiple instrunment trader, I would be very appreciative if a column could be added to the orders and positions window (where the stop and the target are clearly visible) showing the real-time progress of these positions.
this would save the checking of the individual charts (in different chartbooks) and would mean that I dont need my broker window maximised occupying a screen to see this.
I think other multi-instrument traders would appreciate this too.
with thanks

We gave you the wrong link. This is what we meant to link to:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeActivityLog.php#ChartTradeStatsTab

Once again, we are not adding any additional fields to the Orders and Positions window.
