How to access Account Balance via Ninja Script

[hodgini1966]

Hi,

Unable to access my account balance / values within script, trying to replicate something like this:

https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/1047873-getting-accountitem-values-from-my-custom-strategy

Simple test code snippet:

Account a = Account.All.First(t => t.Name == "Sim101");
AcctBalance = a.Get(AccountItem.NetLiquidation, Currency.UsDollar);
Print("NetLiquidation = " + AcctBalance);


The problem appears to be my account name "t.Name" string:

The exact line of code I am using (name & number obscured):

Account a = Account.All.First(t => t.Name == "Joe Blow Trader!Mirus!123456");

The display name (Joe Blow Trader!Mirus!123456) in account details does includes spaces & I have tried removing space).

The response I'm receiving in the output window:

Strategy 'STRATEGY301': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 11: Sequence contains no matching element

Works fine when using Account a = Account.All.First(t => t.Name == "Sim101");

The output / response I receive : NetLiquidation = 100179.93

So it appears my Display Name does not match the account name?

How / where do I find my correct account t.Name?

And is there a method to enumerate through all NT connected accounts myself to discover syntax for all brokerage connections?

i.e. Get Account.All.XXXXX? (instead of using First / FirstOrDefault)

Thanks!

Hello, thanks for writing in. You can find the exact account name to use by printing out each Name property e.g.

foreach(var a in Account.All)
    Print(a.Name);  //notice each name that gets printed, use this in Account a = Account.All.First(t => t.Name == "AccountName");

Kind regards,
