Account level Realized and Unrealized

[peteM]

Hello,

Is it possible to read what the total realized gain/loss and unrealized for the Account (not individual strategy) is?

I'm trying to set a max daily loss for the account for all strategies. I'm thinking I can create a condition in each strategy to only take trades if realized + unrealized > X, where X is my max daily loss.

If there's any other way to set up a max loss, please let me know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your note.

There is a method to be able to access the Account information, Please note that the method is unsupported and would not be able to offer assistance or debugging issues for it.

foreach (Account acct in Cbi.Globals.Accounts)
{
if (acct.Positions != null)
{
PositionCollection positions = acct.Positions;
foreach (Position pos in positions)
{
Print(pos.Account.Name + " " + pos.Instrument + " " + pos.MarketPosition + " " + pos.Quantity + " " + pos.AvgPrice);
}
}

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with,

Thank you for your response. This code only prints out what open positions are, with no reference to realized or unrealized data.


I tried GetAccountValue this morning to get the net liquidation value at the open of trading, but it returns 0. Any other ideas?

PeteM,

As I stated previously, this is all unsupported with NinjaTrader. The code I gave you was an example of how to obtain the account. This sample is getting the position. You might be able to adjust it to work for getting the Unrealized PnL and realized PnL from the trade collection setup -

Thanks for the link, I'll play with that later.

Any idea on why the GetAccountValue code returns 0? I know it needs to work in real time so I set it to wait until market open to get the net liq value. Still returns 0.

What's the full coding that you use for the GetAccountValue()?

[peteM]

openingBalance = GetAccountValue(AccountItem.NetLiquidation);
Print("Account Opening Net Liq = " + openingBalance);

Pete,

The IB Connection supports Net Liquidation By Currency.

Try using -

GetAccountValue(AccountItem.NetLiquidationByCurrency);

[peteM]

Still showing 0.

If my connection is IB, but I'm simulating the strategy, should it return the IB value or the Sim account value?

Or does this not work unless I'm not in simulation?

Pete,

This value will only be reported by IB for the Live account. This type of value will not be available for the Sim101 account.

[peteM]

You are correct. Just tried strategy on IB account and it works.

Thanks for your help Cal.

Account level max loss/profit

Is there any way to access the current daily profit or loss at an account level across all strategies? This would be calculated on all closed trades, so on on realized profit and loss. I want to do this for CQG and for SIM accounts. I want to build a feature in my strategies that halts all trades based on a max loss or profit level for the account. Thanks.

rdesilva, welcome to our forums - the individual scripts would not cross communicate, so one way would be working for example in a Multi series script to be able to cumulate. Or you would work via the Account level offered items through GetAccountValue as discussed in this thread already
