This is probably your best bet, but you have to know how to use EL Objects (I only know enough OOEL to be dangerous):
Note, there are two limitations here:
It is processor intensive, so you don't want to get margin every single bar if you are running intraday charts. Code it to only get margin once per day.
It does not reference historical data, so you cannot use that value for back testing.
I think that is the only way to get margin for an individual instrument/symbol. If you cannot puzzle this out, you may also try asking this question over at the TradeStation community forums.
Thank you very much for your reply, I was afraid it was going to require use of the EL Objects. I also struggle with them. Although what better time then now to learn how they work.
I also try on the TS Community forums as well maybe someone has already coded it out, thanks again.
