Position Tracker by NTL

PositionTracker
PositionTracker is a NinjaTrader charting indicator that opens a small, always-on-top window over your chart, showing your current account positions (longs/shorts), trade size, the symbol, and unrealized P&L with (P&L points) all in real time. You can drag the window around and it will remember its last screen position. It polls your account every few seconds so you can keep your viewers up to date during a livestream.

  1. Find PositionTracker in the NinjaTrader Live folder at the top of the indicator dialog.
  2. Insert it into the chart you will be trading and set the account to trade input property.
  3. To close the window, remove it from the chart in the indicator dialog.

Inputs:

  • Account (AccountName) (dropdown)
    Select which trading account to track and trade. If left blank, it uses your primary account. Make sure you are placing trades in the same account.
  • Symbol Override (SymbolOverride)
    Force the tracker to show a specific symbol instead of the chart's instrument. Leave empty to follow the chart.
  • Track All Positions (TrackAllPositions)
    • False: shows only the position in the chart (or override) symbol.
    • True: lists every active position in your selected account in a vertical list.
  • Show Points (ShowPoints)
    • False: displays only dollar P&L values.
    • True: shows both dollar P&L values and the equivalent points in parentheses (e.g., "$500 (5.0)").
  • Update Frequency (seconds) (UpdateFrequency)
    How often the window refreshes (default 2 seconds).
  • Positive Value Color (PositiveValueColor)
    Brush for long-position text and positive P&L.
  • Negative Value Color (NegativeValueColor)
    Brush for short-position text and negative P&L.
  • Background Color (BackgroundColor)
    Brush for the window's background.
  • Font Size (FontSize)
    Text size for all labels---bigger for readability on streams.
  • Dialog Width / Height (DialogWidth, DialogHeight)
    Starting size of the pop-up window in pixels.
  • Dialog Left / Top (DialogLeft, DialogTop)
    Saved X/Y on-screen coordinates. Automatically updated when you move the window; you normally leave these alone.
  • Drag Handle Height (DragHandleHeight)
    Pixel height of the colored header bar you grab to drag.
  • Drag Handle Color (DragHandleColor)
    Brush for that header bar.

How to use:

  1. Add PositionTracker to your chart.
  2. In its properties, pick your account, decide whether to "Track All Positions," and (optionally) override the symbol and whether to show P&L points.
  3. Click APPLY and OK---the window appears centered (or at your last saved spot).
  4. Drag it anywhere; on reopening or chart reload, it will reappear in that same place and keep updating your positions every UpdateFrequency seconds.

Futures, foreign currency and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. View Full Risk Disclosure.

CFTC Rules 4.41 - Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations, unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
