Problem getting strategy's PnL value

[Novicetrader]

Here's a brief coding lines related to GetAtmStrategyRealizedProfitLoss

#region Variables
private string Object200 = string.Empty;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
string Object200 = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
}

Then when each position finish I have the following line:

Print("PnL is " + GetAtmStrategyRealizedProfitLoss(Object200).ToStri ng());

But the output window always show the PnL is 0

Can anyone enlighten me what I did wrong ? I am using Ninjatrader 6.5.

Novicetrader, are you entering a trade with the AtmStrategyCreate() then at all in your code, so you could access it's PnL?

A general sample on this area is located here with code you could use -

Thanks, I have been looking at the coding and I am uncertain what it means that I must "HAVE AN ATM STRATEGY TEMPLATE NAMED 'AtmStrategyTemplate' CREATED IN NINJATRADER (SUPERDOM FOR EXAMPLE) FOR THIS TO WORK".

Can you tell me what should be put in the template? Thanks for your time again.

You would just create a regular ATM strategy template either in the ChartTrader or SuperDOM interface and save it (right click > 'manage ATM templates'), then access it in your code.
