How to get the account value

[Hiromichi]

I am trying to develop a strategy with the bet size determined by the current account value (i.e. the betsize varies according to the account size).

What kind of class/functions i can use to do that?

and if i want to do backtesting, it seems that NJ will automatically use the a/c Back101. is it possible to adjust the size of this account and use some functions in the strategy to determine the size of this account?

Thank you very much!!

Hiromichi, you can use AccountSize to tie order size by a set account balance - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...countSize.html

Accessing live account balances / values will be supported (detail will vary with brokers) with NinjaTrader 7 - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/NT7/NinjaTrader7.html

New Account Access
We added methods to get access to live brokerage account values such as cash balance. This is dependant on the broker and the level of information they provide if any.

Thank you very much. I am looking forward to seeing version 7.


meanwhile maybe i will read and write a text file that contains a balance of my account by using System.IO

thank you very much!
