TOS - Charts - Flexible Grid Active Trader for Calls and Puts doesn't show position with P/L Open and P/L Day

[adasagar7511]

Hi All - I've created a Flexible Grid Active Trader under Charts in TOS for Options Call on Left Side and Put on Right side.
When I take a position like Buy 1 TSLA or SPY Call Option or Put Option I don't see in same Active Trader Grid my position where I'm in loss or profit via P/L Open and P/L Day.
I need to navigate to Monitor -> Position Statement -> Instrument and see my Option position. That takes some time and friendly as it may result me in loss unless I setup my stop loss or profit with that position.

I'm attaching a screenshot. Please let me know if there is any solution or workaroudn here.

@adasagar7511 I've never relied on those position indicators... Instead, I keep a label on each Option Chart that displays GetOpenPL()... Granted, it doesn't show total contracts but I know where each contract is at all times... I also display the P/L Open column on my ActiveTrader ladder...

input location = Location.TOP_LEFT;
input fontSize = FontSize.SMALL;

def PLOpen =  GetOpenPL();

AddLabel(yes, "P/L: " + AsText(PLOpen, NumberFormat.DOLLAR), if PLOpen > 0 then Color.GREEN else if PLOpen < 0 then Color.RED else Color.WHITE, location, fontSize);

Thanls for the response. Actually, I'm using Flexible Grid -> Active Trader and using Buy Mrkt or Buy Ask and Sell in there so I need to have lable or way to see my Profit or Loss via P/L Open in my Active Trader. When I take a position those P/L Open and P/l Day are are always zero (0) and doesn't show any movement.

The P/L Open column is confusing as it shows to many orders and keep going back and forth. What I need is single place where I can see my profit or loss for that contract lile I see it in Monitor Tab -> Position Statements -> Under Instruments

The P/L Open column shows total profit for that particular trade... If you add or sell positions the P/L Open will show average profit for the remaining open contracts... I've used this method for years...

This is my side by side Option trading Chart which has a Call side and a Put side with contracts loaded at all times... I keep the active directional side maximized and then switch over when trend reverses... Notice the P/L Open column to the far right of the AT Ladder...
