When starting a strategy in DEMO mode on Sunday night, the first time, onAccount() gets triggered is Monday 7am.
Is there a way to access the account data (IAccount.getEquity()... ) prior to Monday morning?
How can I access the account details right after the start of a strategy?
Thanks and best, RR.

Do you run your strategy in the JForex platform or using JForex API library?

This strategy is run in the JForex platform on instrument GBP/USD.
I did start the strategy on Sun 2009.12.13 22:07 and onAccount() was first triggered Mon 2009.12.14 06:49 .
There was no trade or tradesignal processing at this time or since the start of the run.
The first getEquity() returned the value that was already shown in the status bar of the JForex client at the start of the run.

I've seen that with the latest build JF2.0.14 there is still the issue that onAccount() is not fired at the beginning of a run.
Is there any possibility to retrieve the equity (and other account related data) outside of onAccount()?
I would need a method to retrieve the account data right at the start of a run.
I didn't come across a method in the API docu how to do this but maybe I've missed something?
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Thanks, RR.

Has this been fixed? Any reasonable strategy will use account information like account free margin and user-specified risk percentage to compute a position lot size. If IAccount is not called at start of strategy then the first trade will not have access to this information, making JForex useless for writing strategies.
