Access the trade perfomance information by programming within an indicator

[MarceloF]

Hello Ninjas
I would like to access Trade Performance information inside the indicator code.
My goal is to create visual alerts so that Trader sees its real-time performance throughout the day.

Please help me.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Whenever you are outside of the context where an account is selected such as an Indicator, you would need to locate and access an account directly to get this type of information.

You can find all of the Account related methods and properties along with samples here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/account_class.htm

The sessions account performance can be accessed using the accounts Get method and the AccountItem enums. The other performance collections you may be used to such as AllTrades are not available in this context but you can access individual strategies if those collections are what you are after. Otherwise, you would have access to the executions in general to do any performance calculations you wanted.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

You are the best.
