I’ve seen so many other threads with this request from a while back, but I wanted to create a more recent one.
PLEASE add the feature to have either the dollar amount or # of ticks shown on the TP/SL line, the way it shows when PaperTrading. It really sucks to set a stop loss only to realize it has been set to a different amount than the one originally set and you don’t find out until it’s been hit.
has anyone ever had Tradovate even respond to adding a feature? seeing TP/SL by ticks should be critical update and all other brokers with Trading View have it
Following up on this request:
Tradovate, please add the ability to display the actual dollar value of profit and loss directly on TP/SL order lines on the chart.
For example, when placing a trade, the chart should show something like:
Take Profit: +$500
Stop Loss: -$250
The dollar values should automatically calculate based on:
Most importantly, the dollar amount should update dynamically whenever the TP or SL line is moved.
Why this matters
For futures traders, thinking in dollar risk rather than ticks or points is critical for proper position sizing and risk management. Having to calculate the dollar amount separately—or use a third-party indicator—creates unnecessary friction and increases the possibility of placing a trade with unintended risk.
This isn’t just a cosmetic feature. It’s a risk-management tool.
TradingView and other platforms have demonstrated that displaying dollar P/L directly on trade levels is both useful and practical. Tradovate already calculates the necessary P/L information, so this seems like a natural improvement to the charting interface.
Please consider adding:
$ amount displayed next to TP
$ amount displayed next to SL
Dynamic updates when levels are dragged
Automatic calculation based on contract quantity
Optional display of $ / ticks / points
Ability to toggle the feature on/off in chart settings
If you would use this feature, please UPVOTE this request and comment below. The more traders who support it, the clearer the demand is for Tradovate to prioritize it.
Thank you, Tradovate, for continuing to improve the platform. This would be a small UI improvement with a big impact on risk management and the overall trading experience.
