Hello lju45,

The strategy performance can be accessed from the StrategyPerformance TradeCollection.

Hi,

Thank you, when I use:
Print(Account.Get(AccountItem.CashValue, Currency.UsDollar));
the output is allways 100000 although there are several trades with positive and negative impact.
I would like the impact of each trade to be reflected so that I can evaluate them.

Hello lju45,

With brokerage accounts NinjaTrader can access the BuyingPower and CashValue if these are supported by your broker. If your broker has an account value that is specifically called Capital Value, this would not be accessible in NinjaTrader.

Thank you,

I am simply referring to the money I have in my account at all times. I need it as a series to be able to calculate the average of the last 10 values.

Hello lju45,

I'm not familiar with capital value.

This would not be market data or fundamental data.

This means that value likely would not be something you can get from a connected data feed.

What do you consider Capital Value?

Is this is a calculated value or something that comes from a feed?

Yes, I am developing the strategy in a script but I need to access the capital value. How can I access it?

Hello lju45,

I am not personally aware of an indicator with this description.

This thread will remain open for any community members that may know of this indicator.


You have posted in Strategy Development section of the forums. Are you trying to code your own script in C# (development)?

I am developing a strategy and I need to know the capital value in the last 100 bars. Is there any indicator or variable that stores that value?
