Hey Everyone,

I'm looking for something that will show me the current account balance, NOT including any profit/loss from open positions. ie. Equity minus open profit/loss. I have no idea how to code this, but would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Thanks.

Hi
In method onAccount(IAccount account) equity can be obtained by account.getEquity().
Profit/loss can be found by inspecting all orders.

Here is a code sample that prints current equity, total profit/loss and equity minus profit/loss:

   public void onAccount(IAccount account) throws JFException {
        double profitLoss = 0;
        for (IOrder order : engine.getOrders()) {
            profitLoss = profitLoss + order.getProfitLossInUSD();            
        }
        double equity = account.getEquity();
        console.getOut().println( new Formatter().format(" equity = % f profit/loss = % f equity - profit/loss = % f ", equity, profitLoss, equity - profitLoss ) );
   }

Hi,

Thanks for your fast response and for the code. Like I said, I'm completely new to all of this, so forgive me for asking a dumb question, but how do I go about getting this to display in the platform? I don't care how or where it is displayed, I just want to know the current balance at all times.

Many thanks,
fifty_fifty
