Hello giogio1,

Thank you for your post.

The Help Guide page below has a chart detailing this info for NT8.

Operations > Control Center > Accounts Tab

You can get these items from AccountItem.

AccountItem

Getting historical executions from the database is not supported/documented. You can use the Account.Orders to get information on the Orders placed to the account, use Account.Orders.Count.

Hi Gaby, with OnAccountItemUpdate and AccountItem I am getting exactly what I want. I am using this with different types of account and orders generated by strategies and ATM.

I cannot get a count of trades in a straight forward way. because I am doing all of this in an indicator and I am not sure I can access to SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesCount. So I infer it by looking at variations in the AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss and variatiions in Positions. Quantity .using OnPositionUpdate().
Is this the correct way to go.?

Also, is SystemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesCount good for strategy only or also ATM and manual traders?
Thank you.
Gio

Hello,

Apologies, I assumed you were creating a strategy as this post is in the Strategy Development section of the forums.

SystemPerformance is only for trades generated by a strategy. It will not work for indicators, ATMs, or manual trades.
