Get current Margin requirements . . .

[ATMtrader0001]

I know that with the current market volatility that the margins have been increased 2X.

Is there any way to query the Instrument to get the Margin requirements for that instrument?

I am just trying to find the best way to ensure that I can get my orders properly filled. If I can't meet the margin requirements it would be good to know before
placing the order and have the Strategy close. Since each instrument seems to have different Margin requirements it would good to make that a property
of the instrument that you can get to factor in when deciding to place an order.

Thanks.

Hello ATMtrader0001,

Thanks for your post.

While this is not supported code, you could consider checking margin from a Risk Template. A colleague has shared a script that can provide further direction on our forums

Keep in mind, this would check margin from the local Risk Template and may not be current if there are last minute changes to margin in the event of a lock limit being reached, for example.

Information on creating and modifying Risk Templates can be found here — https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...isk_window.htm

We look forward to assisting.
