Calculating the Value of a Position

03-24-2019, 04:46 PM

Suppose I'm Trading /ES. I want to calculate the value of my position at any point throughout the trading day. If I have 1 contract and I'm up 1 pt when I look, and I know that /ES has a value of $50 per point, I know that I'm up $50. My question is if i wanted to write a script to do this automatically, how do I represent the $50 per point in ninjascript? Would it be something like the PerformanceUnit.Currency? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello dmking,

The PointValue for an instrument can be found through the Instrument.MasterInstrument properties.
