AccountItem.NetLiquidation with IB

[elliot5]

I am getting an error when using the AccountItem.NetLiquidation variable.

AccountItem.NetLiquidation / 100000

I have tried declaring it as a double and an int with no success.... can you guys clarify how to extract and use the AccountItem.NetLiquidation so that myself and other can do fixed fractional position sizing?

Regards to all and thx

Hello everington_f,

Thank you for writing in.

You will need to call the GetAccountValue() method and pass Cbi.AccountItem.MaintenanceMargin. You can then divide the return value by 100000.

GetAccountValue(Cbi.AccountItem.NetLiquidation)

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Thanks Zach - forgot to mention the thread was for NT8. Your solution works for NT8?

Hello everington_f,

You will need to use Account.Get() with NinjaTrader 8: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...en-us/?get.htm

Please ensure to post any NinjaTrader 8 related inquiries to the NinjaTrader 8 Beta forum category going forward.
