If you are on a sim account it will not submit to TWS. You have to be trading on a live account for it to show up in TWS.

crunchy,

You'll have to do the calculations yourself in your code. You start with an account size. You need to do the math based on how much of that account size is margin to you. Then you can determine how much margin was used. Of course this may not necessarily mimic how your actual brokerage would handle your margin, but that is all you can do from a simulation stand point.

thanks for your help.
It would be very great if someone had a code exemple, but thanks,
great help :-)

crunchy,

Take the AccountSize and multiply it with your margin percentage. That will be your initial margin. Subtract the proportional deduction from each of your margin trades your initial margin and that is your remaining margin.

If you want someone to just program this for you please consider one of the 3rd party NinjaScript Consultants here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm
