Accountsize via Ninja DLL towards Tradestation

[Frank S.]

Hello,

I am using Tradestation rerouting my trades via Ninja DLL into FXCM. I need the Real accountsize into Tradestation to avoid overtrading, but cannot find any NTxx command. Any advice which might help ?

Hello Frank ,
Thanks for your post.

Unfortunately there are no functions in the Dll interface which returns the account size value.

Thanks, when will Ninja provide an update of the DLL to solve the account size issue ?

So is NTCashxx now available ? This post is from 2008 ?

Hello Frank,
You may refer to the Client.dll documentation for more details.

double CashValue(string account)
Gets the cash value for the specified account. *Not all brokerage technologies support this value.

I will however further investigate it whether we officially support the function in NTDirect.dll or not.

thanks, whatever helps. All I need is to know how much money I have on my account to avoid overtrading. Thanks for your support.

Hello Frank,
Yes, you can use the NTCashValue function. However it is not documented and thus not officially supported.
