Postion Info On Chart

Hello Again,  Ive been searching for ways to better track my open positions. Ideally, being able to see my entry and % gain or loss of that current position, on the chart. I currently keep track by using the draw line tool, but would really love if some of those details ( % gain/loss, $ change) were visible without me being tied to drawing lines.   I know there is a ‘show trades’ option in appearances but it never works , so I will just draw a line at my position and then hang a line off there to monitor progress. The time to do this, and go away from and return to it mid trade is annoying.     I know what I am describing will be study but I am having trouble finding solid examples to build off of.

Hoping there are some options available.

(I trade single positions at a time, intraday)

Thinkorswim language only permits us to work with plots, chart labels and chart bubbles. Drawing objects cannot be created or modified by code on Thinkorswim. There are two built-in chart studies that will help you understand what is possible. In fact they may serve the purpose you need right out of the box:

PositionNetLiq:

PositionOpenPL:

https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/Tech-Indicators/studies-library/O-Q/PositionOpenPL

In addition to those built-in chart studies we have several built-in functions under the "Portfolio" category:

In the limited time I have available for free solutions in the Q&A forum this is about all I have time to provide.
