Check Account Positions

[happyfatguy]

Hello,

Is there a way using NinjaScript to check the account positions, instead of the strategy positions, inside of a strategy?

Thanks in advance.

happyfatguy,

This is not supported in NT6.5. In NT7 you can check account values, but not account positions.

Outside DLL

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there anyway to incorporate an external DLL or to read a text file from within NinjaScript? (No need to example code, just trying to understand if the capability exists)

Thanks!

happyfatguy,

If you want to read from a text file you can use C#'s StreamReader capabilities. Please see here: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3476

Or you can also try this one: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3477

Terrific. Thank you very much.

Using Statements

Hi again,

So I'm implementing the strategy and want it to read from a text file. I am having trouble getting the strategy to accept a using "System.IO;" statement as valid though. Can only indicators utilize this class?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Please be sure you have added the required using lines up top.

System.IO

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Correct. It's not accepting "Using System.IO;" as a valid statement in the Using declarations region on top. The same line is accepted just fine on an indicator. Was just wondering if perhaps it is restricted on the strategies, but not on the indicators?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Please use a lower case U for "using". It should work.

Thanks!

Thank you very much. I'm a VB.Net guy - often mess up that syntax.
