Referencing the Account Total P/L

[fibbee]

Im trying to have my strategy stop trading once it reaches a total profit or loss but I can't seem to figure out how to reference this on the account level.

Previously I was trying to use the strategy unrealized or realized loss but it was only closing trades past my threshold based on unrealized and not the total of both unrealized and realized.

Now im struggling to figure out how to tap into the account level Total P/L for this... Please help guide me in the right direction.

Hello fibbee,

For a strategy adding the SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Curr ency.CumProfit and the Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit.C urrency, Close[0]) would be the total realized and unrealized for the strategy.

However, for orders placed to an account (not using a strategy) there is no TradesPerformance collection to retrieve the total cumulative profit.
Some forum community members have suggested workarounds.

Just confirm, you were meaning total profit or loss on orders placed to an account (not through a strategy) and not a daily profit or loss, is this correct?

Thank you Chelsea, that was very helpful.

One more question if you don't mind -- How do I ensure a strategy stays sync=true when placing a trade with an ATM template?

Hello fibbee,

This wouldn't be possible. Placing an order with an AtmStrategy method will be through the core of NinjaTrader similar to a manual order and will not affect the strategy position and will not update any order method overrides.

Below is a link to the help guide.
