Initial Cash Value

[Aylin]

Hi, is there a way to get the "Initial Cash" Value of the Account in my strategy?

When i rightclick my account -> edit account , i can see the 100.000 Initial Cash which is my deposit. The CashValue has added all the profit to it.

I cant find the InitialCash parameter for the AccountItem. The deposit is synchronized with a cloud service but i cant get the correct value.

I was expecting this:
Print("InitialCash: "+MonitorAccount.Get(AccountItem.InitialCash, mycurrency));


thx

Hello Aylin,

Thank you for your post.

The Simulation Accounts are the only accounts that have the Initial Cash in the Edit Account menu. As you noticed that value is not available through the Account object.

You would need to create your own internal variable Initial Cash if you wanted to factor Initial Cash in your strategy.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
