DislikedJason, I have an idea for adding an automatic risk/reward calculator for the order entry windows in TSII. I think it would be a cool feature to add, and it would be handy for helping to keep an accurate trade journal. It could also be displayed in the "Summary" section of the main window. Here's a doctored up screen shot:

DislikedHey roughtrader,
The charts will show a net short / net long line if you have multiple positions which is the average weighted entry price and in effect break-even. Switching the chart from bid to ask would take into account the spread and price which needs to reach the line for breakeven. Is that what you're looking for? Let me know if I'm completely misunderstanding what you're looking for
