I have this working in paper money it shows me the PL live as I am trading. Shows my money up or down in green or red and my buy in amount I am at. Th gray area title on the end.
But now I moved to live trading and it is not working? Even the time in is not working but it all still works in paper trading.

How can I get it working in live trading?

It is this part that is not working it seems - it just stays gray no matter what with no numbers showing and the time in is not changing to the current buy in time as it dose in paper money working right.

AddLabel(1, "Qty: " + GetQuantity() +
" Avg $" + Entry +
" P/L: " + AsDollars(PL) + " Max L: " + AsDollars(Entry * GetQuantity()),
if PL == 0 then Color.GRAY
else if PL > 0 then Color.GREEN
else Color.RED);

addlabel(1,
" In: " + ( barssince * chartmin) + " minutes",
if GetOpenPL() > 0 then Color.yellow else Color.yellow);

I know a trade needs to be going. This works in paper trading but not in the live trading.

Still not working here is a screen shot of the active trade and then the item not working. On the same timeline as in paper trading that it works in - its the same chart setup.

Also the timeframe link provided in the reply post is not working to see anything.

The BID ASK SPREAD and Diff label is not part of the script that you provided.
So those fields do not appear, because they are not in the script.

The rest of your script does work for VALID TRADES THAT ARE CURRENTLY OPEN!
For example, here is my monitor tab. It shows an open trade for AAPL

Here is the AAPL chart with your script working correctly:

You did not provide an image of your monitor tab indicating that your trade is currently open.
Portfolio labels only work when there is an open trade.

Here is the link to everything you want to know about portfolio functions.

As stated, the script works as required.
No, you never provided your activities and position image showing that the trade still has a p/l open amount.
You only provided images that an order was placed at some point.
But you never provide an image of the current status of the trade.
The assumption is that you do not have a current open trade therefore the portfolio functions cannot provide any data.


Bottom line as @MerryDay indicated above. There is no coding or syntax issue.
The code does work. And yes, it provides the requisite labels and lines.
Therefore, the forum cannot provide any further assistance.

The forum is not affiliated with Schwab.
You need assistance from Schwab to determine if you have open trades and then why they are not displayed on your charts.

The screen shots I provided are how mine shows up on Mac in both paper trading and live trading to show a open order.
I have no view that looks like the one that was posted by MerrryDay that I can find anyplace in my monitor area to show?
 
At this point, given that, the script does work; and you are still having issues.
You will have to contact Customer Support.

Suggestion: As Customer Support does not provide support for custom scripts.
You should ask why the ToS function quantity() is not displaying in a label.

When you have a simple quantity displaying; your custom scripts should also work.
