Account Class Get() method

[Dan_D_Trader]

I am curious to know why in the syntax

Get(AccountItem itemType, Cbi.Currency currency)

The parameter's comments in relation to Cbi.Currency currency states that "The account currency the value should be denoted (required parameter, but has no effect on returned value)"

It defies the purpose.
Is NinjaTrader has the intent of implementing this functionality and if so when.

Thank you.

/ Evaluates to see if the account has more than $25000
if (Account.Get(AccountItem.CashValue, Currency.UsDollar) > 25000)
{
// Do something;
}

Hello Dan,

The account item will be reported in the currency of your broker.

To confirm, you are wanting functionality to convert to any currency and be able to automatically fetch the exchange rate?

Hi Chelsea.
Yes, for example I am to trade EURGBP to assess the number of lot I need to convert the risk calculated in GBP, so I need to convert my account in GBP to perform this task.

Hello Dan_D_Trader,

I will submit your request for the development team to consider.

Once I have a tracking ID I will post in this thread for future reference.

In the meantime, it would be necessary to convert currency by adding the instruments to a script and using the current prices to calculate a conversion rate.
