Hello,

I would like to get my account balance using the standalone API, something like client.getAccountBalance() or client.getAccount() would be nice.
I can't find a way to get a IAccount object except for the IContext interface and this you only can get when running a strategy.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I am aware only of

public void onStart(final IContext context) throws JFException {
    double accountStartBalance = context.getAccount().getBalance();
}

, just as you indicated.
And it is only 'valid' from a strategy indeed.

But, where else do you want to use it if not in a strategy?

I would like to have a graphical representation of my equity and account balance using the JForex SDK, the same as the bottom status bar when using JForex.

Hi,

I suggest to contact API Support here. (I am not sure if they monitor this topic...).

So what is the problem with running a strategy, which provides you the account information? If you need only to fetch the IAccount interface consider an approach similar to this:
