call once on strategy execution

[Tdschulz]

I'm attempting to monitor my profits from within the strategy and using

Print ("Account Size is " + GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue)); 
			Print ("Performance is " + Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency.CumProfit);

However, while a position is open, the GetAccountValue shows inaccurate information. CumProfit works fine but does not carry into the next contract so profits are back to zero. What I would like to do is call the Account Size - Starting Account Size. The starting account size would be an int and I would like to call the Account Size. What can I use to get accurate Account size information?

Hello Tdschulz,

Could you clarify what you are expecting to see inside GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue)?

While in a trade the Initial Margin will affect Cash Value.

For a reference sample you may view the following thread on using trade performance statistics for money management.

Note that CumProfit will return the Realized PnL: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...?cumprofit.htm

For unrealized PnL you may use GetProfitLoss(): http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...profitloss.htm

Happy to be of further assistance.
