Account RealizedPnL

[KINGKODA]

Hello,

I am trying to get the Account Realized Profit Loss to string but it disappears every time NinjaScript reloads on Chart.

The RealizedPnL appears only after placing a trade when using code:

private void OnAccountItemUpdate(object sender, AccountItemEventArgs e)
if (e.AccountItem == AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss)
LastRPnL = e.Value;

How do I get the Realized Profit Loss for the day, or SinceNewSession, regardless of placing a trade or chart refresh?

Hello KINGKODA,

Thank you for the post.

While using the OnAccountItemUpdate event, you would need to wait for an account update for your script to see that change. This means if your script sees an update, and then you reload the script it would clear that data and wait for another update.

To check values at any given time, you would need to access the account directly instead of waiting for those events. You could use the addon Account.Get method with an AccountItem to retrieve variable values from a specific account:

The values you get from this method would be the general account values.


Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Thank you Jesse,

Could you show me a sample of how to use the addon Account.Get method with an AccountItem?

I'm not sure where it's placed, still under OnAccountItemUpdate, or OnStateChange?

Hello KINGKODA,

Thank you for the reply.

Because this is a method of the account object, you can use it wherever you have an instance to the account. If you wanted to use this in OnBarUpdate for example:

Print(myAccount.Get(AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss, Currency.UsDollar));

I look forward to being of further assistance.
