GetAccountValue

[tradetree]

I have the following code that I run on the first bar:

string accnt = "&accnt=" + GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue).ToString() + ":"
+ GetAccountValue(AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss).To String();
Print( accnt );

string trd = "&trd=" + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Points).ToString() + ":"
+ Position.Quantity.ToString() + ":"
+ Instrument.FullName.Split(' ')[0] + ":"
+ Position.AvgPrice.ToString() + ":" + Close[0];

GetAccountValue has a value of zero even though it is a valid and funded account. Does this call work or am I doing something wrong? I also would like to get the account number. And I want to check that if I call Polistion.Quantity I will get the number of contracts being traded?

I searched the help and the forum but no one else seems to have this problem.

I found one of my own answers. GetAccountValue is always zero on Historical bars. Can I still get an answer on account number and number of contracts? Thanks.

Correct, it would be 0 for historical bars - as this is a real-time only property.

Position.Quantity is the current qty of the strategy position, and would not be tied to the account.

Not documented / supported, but Account.Name should let you check for the account string.
