Querying Account Performance.

[jonmoron]

Is there a way I can query Account Performance (say based on an account name and a date-range) within a strategy. I'd like to programatically access Account Performance (as seen within the NT ui) when I receive execution notifications of a trade.

thanks!

NT_Ben,

Thank you for the response. I am looking for a way to find trade performance data based on account information (for example by using an accountname, etc) and by limiting that data based on a date-range. I don't see how that is possible using the links you provided. Is there a way to do this (there must be since the NT UI contains all of this information)?

thanks-
jon

Hello,

Your options are listed in the links I provided. Your only other option is to record the fill price in a variable and check the profit againsted the most recent price etc. within your program. Sorry!

Is there a way to query this information from the local computer that NT is running on (instead of per-se the NT database..)?

Hi there, unfortunately accessing the data presented in the UI is unsupported.

You could try building your own database and saving all the relevant information. Every IExecution and IOrder update includes a time property.

In addition, the methods in the post Ben referred you to (Trade Class (entry and exit specifically), and Trade Collection Class) return time properties (via IExecutions). You might have to build your own time filter though.
