access the P&L on the day from an indicator

Hi,

is it possible to access the P&L of an account from an indicator?

Thanks

Hello td_910,

Thank you for your post.

It would require accessing the account collection through unsupported means. Below is an example of running through the account collection:

foreach (Account acct in Cbi.Globals.Accounts)
{
if (acct.Positions != null)
{
PositionCollection positions = acct.Positions;
foreach (Position pos in positions)
{
Print(pos.Account.Name + " " + pos.Instrument + " " + pos.MarketPosition + " " + pos.Quantity + " " + pos.AvgPrice);
}
}

Worked like a charm, many thanks.

Would it be possible to check the realized PnL too?

Thanks

You can use GetAccountValue(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...countvalue.htm

Hi Patrick,

is there a workaround for this in an indicator?

Thanks

Hello td_910,

There would not be a work around for this in an indicator.
