Intraday Margin in an Indicator

[BGWTEX]

How do I get Intraday Margin, once I'm subscribed to account.AccountItemUpdate in an Indicator ? I'm using Continuum with NinjaTrader Brokerage.

Hello BGWTEX,

(edit, we need the argument account item, not the type)

private void OnAccountItemUpdate(object sender, AccountItemEventArgs e)
{
// Output the AccountItem.InitialMargin account item
if (e.AccountItem == AccountItem.InitialMargin)
    Print(string.Format("Account: {0} AccountItem: {1} Value: {2}", e.Account.Name, e.AccountItem, e.Value));
}

Thank you, Chelsea.

It's working, however, for fwiw,

if (e.AccountItem.ToString() == "IntradayMargin")
works, and
if (AccountItem == AccountItem.InitialMargin)
gives the error message :

'NinjaTrader.Cbi.AccountItem' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'

I guess it's not important ?

Hello BGWTEX,

I am a bit surprised. Looking into it.

Hello BGWTEX,

Apologies, I've corrected the sample code above.
