GetAccountValue

[guillembm]

Hi,

I'm using this instruction in a ninjascript but it only works in Initialize()

Print(GetAccountValue(AccountItem.BuyingPower) + "---" + GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue));

It's possible to make it work in OnBarUpdate()?

This instruction is retrieving 0 values for BuyingPower and CashValue. At present the values dislplayed in my account (Sim101) are negative. Is this ok?

thanks

guillembm, what would you see if you made the same prints from the OnBarUpdate() instead? It would return 0 for historical bars that would be expected.

I see what you mean. For an historical bar there is no account info.

thanks

Does anyone have a working example of this? I am foreach looping through all Sim101, Sim102 and Sim103 accounts and trying to Print acct.GetAccountValue(AccountItem.BuyingPower, Currency.UsDollar); and all I get is 0. This is on simulated data feed with CalculateOnBarClose = false. I'm doing this code in OnBarUpdate in an Indicator.

Hello,

You do not specify is this in historical bars or live bars? Expected to get this 0 value on historical bars.

It's being done on a live bar, ie if (!Historical). Any other ideas? Is it possible to get these values in an indicator, not strategy?

Hello,

Right would need to be in a strategy for sure. In an indicator order methods do not function as well as account performance.
