Net Liquidation in real time

[MGHORBEL]

Hello

The situation :
I am connected with NinjaTrader8 (Version 8.1.3.0 64-bit) via IB Gateway (Version 10.23) to an IBKR account. The connection is made without any problem. I subscribed for market data: CME, CBOT. The data is provided without problem too.

My problem:
When I enter the market (short or long) I do not see in real time the evolution of either the Unrealized PnL or the Net Liquidation.
$0.00 is displayed for the Unrealized PnL when the position changes.
The Net Liquidation changes when position is closed (when is Flat) . I used a sample strategy to show the Net Liquidation value (please see attached photo)

My question:
How can I resolve this problem to be able to receive the evolution of Net Liquidation in real time?

Thanks

Hello MGHORBEL,

Thank you for your post.

I believe net liquidation only gets updated after a trade closes - to confirm, you can reach out to your broker about how they handle this statistic.

Unfortunately, unrealized pnl does not get updated for Interactive Brokers. This data isn't transmitted to the platform by IB. You can see Account Values Supported by Provider at the link below:
