See this tool in action on NinjaTrader Live on YouTube each trading day:

Understanding the Display:
Position Information (First Line):
LONG/SHORT: Displayed in your chosen positive/negative colors
Quantity: Number of contracts/shares
Average Entry Price: The average entry price for the position
Symbol: Displays either the root or full symbol depending on settings
Position P&L: Unrealized profit/loss in your selected format

Order P&L Information (Second Line) (if enabled):
Profit: Potential profit if limit orders fill
Risk: Potential loss if stop orders fill
Ratio: Risk/reward ratio
No active exit orders displayed when no stop-loss or profit target orders are detected

How Order P&L Works:
The Order P&L feature analyzes your active orders to calculate:
Risk: Based on the distance from your entry to your stop-loss orders
Profit: Based on the distance from your entry to your limit/profit target orders
Ratio: Profit divided by risk (e.g., 2.5:1 means $2.50 potential profit for every $1 risked)
The indicator intelligently only counts exit orders, and supports multiple stops and targets, including those placed with Automated Trade Strategies (ATM).

Troubleshooting:
Message: Select an Account from the Properties - Choose your account in the Properties Account Settings group
Window Disappeared: May be minimized or off-screen; remove and re-add the indicator to reset position
Order P&L shows 'No active exit orders' - Ensure you have stop-loss and/or profit target orders placed for the position

Futures, options, foreign currency, digital asset, and event contract trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. An investor may lose all or more than the initial investment. Trading should be undertaken only with risk capital—funds that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle—and only by those who can afford such losses. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Prior to trading digital assets, review the CFTC and NFA advisories for additional information regarding the significant risks involved. View Risk Disclosure Statement.

NFA Rule 2-29(c): Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
