Getting IB Account Balance

[keydiver]

I trade multiple items in multiple accounts at IB using NinjaScript strategies on charts.

How can I get the available account equity so that I can dynamically and correctly size the positions. It's available from the DLL, but how is it read in NinjaScript?

We do not have this function available in NinjaScript. This will be in NT7.

Hello Cago2,

Thank you for your post.

You can use the GetAccountValue() method in order to view your Buying Power, Cash Value or Realized PnL from your broker account.
