Check out the new article: Market Simulation: Position View (XVIII).

In this article, I have shown—in the clearest possible way—how to modify and improve code capable of handling specific tasks while making as few changes as possible to the existing code. We will add a volume display and, at the same time, ensure that users or traders cannot effectively remove objects created by the position indicator.

In the previous article “Market Simulation: Position View (XVII)”, I showed how to make the position indicator display different types of data. Thus, a trader can view the state of a position as a percentage change, profit/loss result, number of ticks, or the difference between values. You, my dear reader, can easily extend it or even improve it.

Although the position indicator is almost ready for use in the replay/simulation system to test the system and verify our ability to read the market, we cannot do this yet because of some unresolved issues in the indicator itself.

In addition, we need to fix a few minor issues. If a trader accidentally makes certain errors during operation, they will not be able to use the position indicator, since it will not function properly. In most cases, the indicator will force the trader to take unintuitive actions.

Therefore, in this article, we will continue to make gradual improvements to all of this in order to take another step closer to our ultimate goal. Let's start with the first question.
