Access instrument margin per contract in NinjaScript?

[FaaZer]

Hi NT team,

I would like to know if it’s possible to access, via code in NinjaScript, the required margin per instrument?

For example, I can currently only access the account margin like this:

Account.Get(AccountItem.ExcessIntradayMargin, Currency.UsDollar);
Account.Get(AccountItem.ExcessInitialMargin, Currency.UsDollar);

But I would like to know if it’s possible to retrieve the margin requirement for the instrument itself, or if the only option is to manually look it up from https://ninjatrader.com/pricing/margins/

Thanks!

Hello FaaZer,

If a broker provides account margin info you can use the code you have shown to access that in realtime.

You can use risk templates but those specifically apply to sim accounts, you can define templates and get info from them still however the trading requirements will not apply to a live account.
