How can I Flatten Everything on NT8

[MohammedAmine]

Hello Guys,

I start my trading with $100 000 and I have a daily profit objective of $1000, so basically I write this code to stop trading once the NetLiquidation amount reaches 100k+1k

MasterInstrument mi = Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument;
commPerUnit = this.Account.Commission.ByMasterInstrument[mi].PerUnit;

Print(Convert.ToString(Instrument.MasterInstrument .Name));

if (Account.Get(AccountItem.NetLiquidation, Currency.UsDollar) >= (StartingAccountBalance + DailyTargetProfit)) {

Print("I exceeded the daily target profit");
myAccount.Flatten(new [] { Instrument.GetInstrument('"' + Convert.ToString(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name) + '"') });
}

The Print() method shows the message "I exceeded the daily target profit" at the right moment, but when the code moves to flatten, it gives an error and abort the entire strategy


Thanks for your help

Hi Mohammed, thanks for posting.

It looks like the myAccount object is never initialized. See here for an example on how to initialize a custom Account object:

Hi Mohammed, thanks for your reply.

Please see the code example I linked on my previous reply, this shows how you initialize the Account object within the code. Specificaly, this line in State.SetDefaults:

// Find our Sim101 account
lock (Account.All)
myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Na me == "Sim101");

Kind regards,
