I am trading unmanaged. Account information is crucial to enter and exit trades. Without it my strategy can not calculate it's numbers of positions to trade or when to exit on margin requirements etc.
I use Rithmic as order and price feeds. The account tab in Ninjatrader shows the Cash Value as send by Rithmic. This value is in sync with my real account size. But when retrieving this value with GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue), it is always off by about 300 to 400 USD on the lower side. This is also the case when having no open positions, thus no unrealized PnL that could cause the difference.
Rithmic states they solely send the account data to Ninjatrader but they can't say or guerantee anything about the handling by Ninjatrader of this data. So the issue has to be figured out Ninjatrader side.
I have tried several things, but the retrieved Cash Value is never spot on. Any idea where to look at?
Cheers,
Francis
