Cumulative P&L Indicator

Cumulative P&L- Showing the values changing dynamically in the portfolio over time.

OVERVIEW

The Cumulative P&L Indicator displays your account's balance and equity evolution over time as two separate lines on a chart. It provides a visual representation of your trading performance by tracking both realized profits (balance) and unrealized profits (equity) throughout your trading history.

FEATURES

- Balance Line (Green): Shows the cumulative realized P&L from closed positions, including profit, swap, and commission

- Equity Line (Blue): Shows total equity (balance + unrealized P&L from open positions)

- Multi-Symbol Support: Accurately tracks positions across all symbols, not just the chart symbol

- Historical Accuracy: Reconstructs portfolio state at each bar to show accurate historical equity curves

- Swap Tracking: Includes overnight swap charges in calculations

- Currency Conversion: Automatically handles profit calculations for instruments traded in different currencies

HOW IT WORKS

The indicator:

1. Analyzes your complete trading history from account opening

2. Calculates realized P&L at each bar from closed trades

3. Tracks open positions and calculates unrealized P&L based on historical prices
