Hi ,

what study can we use to access "OPEN Profit/Loss" in an alert condition to be used in the Trading system based on alert condition study?

The only study i am aware off that displays Open P/L is the "Trading:Profit/Loss" study...but it doesn't have output values that i can use in an alert...it only displays text.

thanks

Without writing ACSIL code, the way to access this information for an Alert is to add the Spreadsheet System for Trading to the chart and in column O enter =$J$10. Cell J10 contains the Open Profit/Loss and this will then make that number available to the alerts via ID?.SG5. Where the ? is replaced by the actual ID of the Spreadsheet System for Trading and the O column is Subgraph 5.

Refer to the following for the information that particular cell:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Open Profit/Loss [J10]

And refer to the following for setting up alerts referencing a Study and Subgraph:
