Write Account Performance Data to CSV File

[Atomic]

Is there an off-the-shelf Ninjascript app for writing account performance data to a csv file.

Hello Atomic,

Thanks for your post.

I am not aware of an existing NinjaScript that accomplishes this specifically.

You could browse the NinjaTrader Ecosystem User App Share for a possible solution.

This forum thread will also be open for other community members to share their insights on an existing solution.

Otherwise, you could create an indicator that exports values to a file using a StreamWriter: See the reference sample below demonstrating how to write data to a file.

Thanks for that information. I can see how to implement a streamwriter. I have a couple of questions.
1. How does one access account information using streamwriter?
2. How does one cause ninjascript code to run on demand (user request)?

Hello Atomic,

Thanks for your notes.

Account information could be accessed using the Account class. For example, <Account>.Get() could be used to get AccountItem values for an account, such as Buying Power.

See the NinjaTrader help guide documentation below for more information.

<Account>.Get(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/get.htm
AccountItem: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ccountitem.htm

A NinjaScript's OnBarUpdate() method will run depending on the Calculate mode you set it to use.

Calculate.OnBarClose means the script's logic will process at the close of each bar. Calculate.OnPriceChange means the script's logic will process for each change in price. Calculate.OnEachTick means that the script's logic will process for each incoming tick.
