You should create a trading system using your buy and sell rules, backtest it then check "Plot entries & exits on chart".
After that, every time you select a chart, buy and sell arrows will be displayed with entry & exit prices and profit/loss data.

Best Answer

Here is a formula that plots the profit/loss percentage:

buypr = ValueWhen(brule, ref(open, -1));
sellpr = ValueWhen(srule, ref(open, -1));
per = ((sellpr / buypr) - 1) * 100;
per = round(per, 3);

PlotArrow(brule, "Buy", BelowLow, colorBlue);
PlotArrow(srule, "Sell\n".per, AboveHigh, colorRed);

- "brule" is the buy rule and "srule" is the sell rule.
