Intraday / Maintenance Margin

[claude1]

I'm trading with IB. Is there a way to get the intraday initial and maintenance margin for an instrument using NinjaScript?

Hello claude1,

Thanks for opening the thread.

There is not a supported means to access margin information for an account or for an instrument in NinjaTrader 7. NinjaTrader 8 can access the margin information from an account by subscribing to AccountItemUpdate events, but there is no means to access risk templates through NinjaScript to programmatically get these values for a certain instrument.

I'll include a link to the AccountItemUpdate page of the help guide if you wish to investigate this for NinjaTrader 8.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
