Hi! I enter bracket orders which show on my chart. There are lines drawn at my position entry point, target and stop. Is it possible for the target and stop lines to show the dollar value if I get stopped or reach my target? I'd like to know when I enter a position how much my potential loss is and profit is (in dollars) based on my entry point. Once in a position I will at times move my target and stop. Whenever these lines are moved, I'd like them to reflect the new loss and target in dollars. Thanks.

In the meantime, this can be accomplished by adding the Chart DOM to the chart and using the P&L column. It would be nice to be able to add a separator to the column between the Value and P&L column like the Buy and Sell have though when you move them side by side **Edit**--> I see that can be done by checking the "Show Market Data Vertical Column Line.." checkbox in Customize Chart DOM Settings.

You also have the "Risk / Reward" Tool that can show currency value. Only request for this tool would be to actually use the current chart trade quantity to show actual currency value of the potential trade ( it always shows for 1 quantity ).

This will be added to the next release.

In the next release the Attached Orders tab and order lines will show the Profit/Loss values now. For the order lines, this will be an option in Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings.
