Intraday Margin and Continuum

[MarketAlly]

I really need Intraday Margin to be available and am at a loss at why this is not provided. It makes creating an completely autonomous trader near impossible since the margin requirements do adjust. I do not like IB but it seems they are the only option.

Can you please put in a request to provide this basic data?

Hello MarketAlly, and thank you for your question.

Just to ensure I put together the correct information for the responsible teams, I would like to ask you a couple questions.

• Who is your data feed provider?
• Could you review the information on this page to make sure it doesn't address your query?
  
  http://ninjatrader.com/Margins-Position-Management
• Could you also verify, we are referring to intraday margins requirements, and not sessions?

Thank you in advance for this information and for helping to improve NinjaTrader 8

I am using Continuum and according to the documentation - they don't offer any margin information in your system.

Hello MarketAlly,


I have submitted a feature request to the product management team for the following feature :

This customer would like to track Intraday Margin Requirements in a similar manner to commissions tracking in NT8

I will follow up with more information as soon as it's available. If the feature requests already exists, a vote will be added to it.


Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Hello MarketAlly,

This feature is being reviewed by the product management team and has been assigned the following unique tracking ID


SFT-1604


Please be aware that data must be made available to NinjaTrader through a data feed provider's API before NinjaTrader is able to make use of this data. With this in mind, it may be a good idea to have a conversation with your data feed provider about making this information available programmatically as well.

Correct me if I am wrong but that is NinjaTrader's brokerage service yes?

NinjaTrader Continuum and Continuum rely ultimately on the same data, and are limited to the available information in both instances.
