Label with information related to strategy

Hello, I have been trying to do some P&L backtesting with this TOS' FloatingPL study but noticed it does not take into consideration Short profits at all. It considers Shorts as losses to Long profits. Is there a way around this, to have both, the Longs and Shorts trades calculated as profit? Txs in advance.

I wonder how I can add a label with information related to a basic TTM Squeeze strategy?
I would appreciate guidance or a relevant code (would be dreamy)

The question concerns every strategy and not necessarily this one.
How to add statistics such as total trades, average profitability, etc?
All in the form of a label, to reduce the need to open the report every time ...

EDIT - FIXED , added bn = ....


here is a study that you can add to the end of your strategy/study.

read the comments at the top of it.
you will have to change 2 formulas, so they are equal to your buy/sell conditions/variables, (probably in your addorder() functions).

it will display the gains for longs and shorts, quantity of trades, and the average gain/trade, and total $ gain.
green are the longs , red are the shorts.

you can enter a desired average trade price. if the average is above that number, then the label is magenta, if not then it is gray.
you can click through stocks in a watchlist and quickly tell if the average is what you want it to be.

it also finds how long ago was the last buy/sell, in bars and minutes, and colors the label appropriately.

Thanks for sharing.
The "bn" is not define and return error, didn't figure it up yet...
BTW - refering to BarNumber() return wrong results

i see, i was using it with just 2 triggers. always in a trade, either long or short.
you are using 4 triggers.
i will update it and post in a bit.
