Is there a way to retrieve if you've had a loss or win amount?

[MatthewLesko]

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to retrieve from NinjaTrader if an account has lost or profited a certain amount of value or not. How would you find/read that value and be able to get it externally like to a Powershell script?

Hello MatthewLesko,

The API does not provide account access for external applications.

From a NinjaScript using the Addon approach you can retrieve the account Position.GetUnrealizedPnL() and loop through the account Executions for the day (but not previous days).

Thanks so an add-on is something I can make that is able to keep running in the background while trading?

Hello MatthewLesko,

Yes, an Addon window can remain open in the background while trading.
