profit and total loss of the day

[onurbbruno]

Applying my strategy to a determined account, I want to determine the profit / loss of the day to be able to decide then whether to remain with the active strategy or to disarm the strategy. How can I proceed? I would wantto be able to determine the Profit / loss of a determianto account. Thanks.

Hello onurbbruno,

You asked the same question yesterday here:

I'd like to piggy-back on this thread---can you clarify if it is possible to obtain the profit and loss (and number of trades) on the account level vs. the strategy level? As I read the samples--it appears to me when you get the total realized or unrealized profit and trade count-you're only getting the profit/loss and trade count from executions from the active strategy (the strategy containing this code)--and NOT all trades executed that day (for example I may have manually executed 3 trades before I enabled a strategy).

What I want is to know how many trades I have executed across all sources (manual, DOM, chart traders and other strategies) before I enter a new trade within a strategy...

is there an object that contains this # at the account level?

Hi Jim-Boulder,

Yes, that's correct. All the performance info is specific to the strategy context that accesses it.

Using GetAccountValue() the only account level properties are:
BuyingPower
CashValue
RealizedProfitLoss

You can save performance info from multiple strategy instances to a file, but unfortunately there's no way to access trade data programatically outside of a strategy.
