Hello Anton,

Thanks for your post.

In the code you shared you are using Account.Get().Get(); which is invalid syntax.

Further, you would need to define the account in a class-level variable, such as private Account myAccount, and then use myAccount.Get(AccountItem.CashValue, Currency.UsDollar); in the script.

For example:

//class level variable
private Account myAccount;

//OnStateChange() State.SetDefaults
lock (Account.All)
myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");

//OnBarUpdate()
double currentAccountBalance = myAccount.Get(AccountItem.CashValue, Currency.UsDollar);

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code:
