TD Ameritrade Account info not populated?

[ErikHR1969]

Hi,

I have added some code to my strategy to print account information. When I connect to IB the code works, but when I connect to TDA it does not. I need it for may strategy to work properly.

Any Idea how I can get the account info to populate?

Thanks,
Erik

This is the code:

if (State == State.Configure) {
    try {
        Print("Account Info:");
        foreach (Account Acct in Account.All) {
            if (Acct.Name != "TDA ACCT #" && Acct.Name != "IB ACCT #") continue;
            Print("Account: " + Acct.DisplayName.ToString());
            var enumValues = Enum.GetValues((typeof(AccountItem)));
            foreach (AccountItem enumValue in (AccountItem[])enumValues) {
                var Name = Enum.GetName(typeof(AccountItem), enumValue);
                var Value = Acct.GetAccountItem(enumValue, Currency.UsDollar).Value;
                Print(Name + ": " + Value);
            }
        }

    }
    catch {}
}​​

Hello ErikHR1969,

Each data provider offers different account values, TDA offers very few account values compared to other brokers. You can find a list of the values that each broker offers here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...counts_tab.htm

Are you able to see the buying power or cash value showing a value in the control center accounts tab? The NinjaScript output is going to match what you see in the accounts tab for broker provided values.

Hi Jesse,

Yes, I can see buying power and cash value.

Thanks,
Erik

Hello ErikHR1969,

It sounds like its working then, as noted there are not many account values populated with TDA. If you need a reference please see the chart in the help guide for the available values for TDA, unfortunately there is not a way to gather other account values which you may be able to see inside of TDA software.
