The Position Graph Bar is used to keep track of selected account positions and quotes by using a colored bar graph format. By default, the position graph bar is docked under the Order Bar, however, it can be moved and or resized to your desired size or location. Position graphs are plotted from zero to your current profit/loss; so you can choose to plot them using shared scaling to show the current profit/loss is proportion to the maximum run-up/maximum draw down.
To display or hide the Position Graph Bar, use the menu bar View > Position Graph Bar menu sequence.
The upper portion of the Position Graph bar is called the Quote Bar. The Quote Bar displays the last and net change, and net percentage change for each quote symbol. By default, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and the S&P 500 are displayed, yet other quotes can be added and/or removed by using the Format Position Graph Bar - Quotes tab.
The lower portion of the Position Graph bar displays position graphs showing your real-time profit and loss status for open and closed positions you have. By default, position graphs for all positions are displayed for all accounts, however you can customize the position graphs to be displayed for any asset type, positions opened for the current day, or customize a list of positions. Once you decide how you want to filter your position graphs, you have the ability to change the sort order, and modify the settings. For more information, see Format Position Graph Bar - Positions tab.
The positions graphs winning positions are displayed in green and losing positions are displayed in red. Flat positions are differentiated from the open long and short positions by a preceding null (Ø) sign. The closed P/L for the current trading session with the maximum run up and draw down are displayed for each flat position graph bar. To identify the flat positions, they are colored by a darker shade (to the winning or losing color shade) as compared to the open positions.
Position graphs can be displayed in account currency, symbol currency or by percentage. There are a multitude of options you can use by using the shortcut menu on the Position Graph bar.
