Realized PnL

[seahn]

I would like to create code which retrieves the daily PnL for an account for all trades in that account not related to any strategy, just manual trades. The PnL which is displayed in the chart trader PnL label when flat.

It seems to me this should easily accessible as it is displayed in chart trader but I have not found any documented or undocumented way to do this. Any pointers on how to accomplish this?

Hi,

right click on the ChartTrader panel -> Chart Trader Properties...

Show Realized PnL when flat == true

Seahn,

Outsource is correct here.

The Chart Trader has the option to display your realized PnL for the selected account.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks for your reply but I am looking to get that number in C# code so I can use it in other calculations.

I am looking for something like

double pnl=RealizedPnL(string acc)

where RealizedPnL calls some Ninja function/code to retrieve the daily Profit/Loss for the account acc.

Seahn,

You would need to query the accounts to get that information. Note that this is unsupported programming with NinjaScript. However, I have attached a thread below to get you started -
