Displaying Account Value

June 25th, 2017, 09:23 PM

I'm looking for a way to display Account Value out front in a window like Market Analyzer...
something I can prioritize to the front and track.
Why?
In a rapidly trending market, like the coming crash, I want to be able to maximize my compounding effect and max out the number of contracts I can have in play at each pullback.

Therefore I need to know what the account value is so I know how many contracts I can put on in a 90%+ probablity trade in a fast moving market.

Any ideas?

PS the control center is not an option as I don't want to have to search for it. I realize that if I have the accounts tab selected I can grab it quickly but I want another option.

Thanks!

You can even make a small program outside of NT and have that display the account value in a window
that is always in top. In order to have that value, you would make the call as follows :

Code

using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Client;
using NinjaTrader.Data;

...


NinjaTrader.Client.Client NTClient;

...
string account = "YourAccountName";
cashValue = NTClient.CashValue(account);

You need to reference the NinjaTrader.Client dll in your references

And for NT8 it's more something like Account.Get(AccountItem.BuyingPower,...) , or Account.Get(AccountItem.CashValue, ...).
