Account Starting Balance

[jg123]

As I am manually adding my executions into the Executions tab, I notice that it is automatically calculating account performance, such as drawdown, etc. This is great, except that NinjaTrader would not know what the starting account balance is. So where do I add that so that the account performance tab can correctly analyze those details?

Hello jg123,

What account are you selected for the manually added executions?

One of the live accounts that are connected.

Hello jg123,

NinjaTrader will calculate the manually added executions based on the account information in NinjaTrader and provided by your broker.

Please see the link below for information on account information provided by brokers into NinjaTrader.

Thank you for that list. That is an informative one and worth looking at some more.

I think that I am still having a big discrepancy - but I am going to take some time to look through it to see if I can come up with an answer and get back to you
