Access to performance metrics

[fbertram]

My strategy requires access to various performance metrics:

(1) <net profit> + <open position profit> - <total commissions paid>
While I've been able to find TradesPerformance.NetProfit, I could not find the other fields. Obviously, NinjaTrader knows these values - how can I access them?

(2) I would really like to create my own performance metrics object and use it's values in the strategy. I have added methods to access the values I am after to my custom performance metrics object. However, it seems I can't access these values from the strategy. Is there a sample available showing how to do that?


Thank you,
best regards, Felix

I've been able to partially answer my own question:
1)
double netProfit = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.NetP rofit;
double totalCommission = SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Tota lCommission;

2)

However, the question regarding the open position profit still stands. This is what I have been trying:
double openPositionProfit = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < Positions.Length; i++)
{
switch(Positions[i].MarketPosition)
{
case MarketPosition.Long:
openPositionProfit += Positions[i].GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit.Currency, Closes[i][0]);
break;
}
}


Unfortunately the value returned by that code is nowhere close to correct. This may or may not be related to the fact that I am scaling position sizes on a daily basic, which might screw up the accuracy of the average entry price. Is there a better way to do this?

Thank you,
best regards, Felix
