How do I compute Cumulative Net Profit in OnPositionUpdate() callback?

Hello,

Can you please advise how I could compute Cumulative Net Profit (see attached diagram) in the OnPositionUpdate() callback? Thanks

Hello,

To further clarify my question, I am trying to print out the cumulative net profit of the strategy I am currently running, what callback should I use, and how to access the value. Thanks!

Hello billythekid72,

You can see the following link for a sample of getting the cumulative profit from a strategy.

Thank you Jesse,

If I have multiple strategies running currently and need to print the cumulative profit for the strategy (within each strategy), how can I achieve that? Thanks

Hello billythekid72,

Each strategy would need to print its own values. Strategies are not aware of what other strategies are doing so each strategy would need the code in it to use its own performance values.

Hello Jesse,

So is my understanding correct that if I print SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Curr ency.CumProfit within the individual strategy, it would correctly get the cum profit for its own last trade? Thanks

Hello billythekid72,

That would be the cumulative profit for all trades that single strategy placed. Each strategy has individual performance values so when you use SystemPerformance.AllTrades that refers to just this strategies performance values.

If you want only the most recent trade then you need to isolate just that trade. There is a sample of how to get the last trade along with its profit here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...collection.htm

if (SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count > 1)
{
    Trade lastTrade = SystemPerformance.AllTrades[SystemPerformance.AllTrades.Count - 1];​
    Print(lastTrade.ProfitCurrency);
}
