Code question: Account Balance

Maybe I have tomatoes on my eyes,
I can't find a command for code
- account balance
- account equity.
I need it to calculate Risk in my code.
Thank you!

Hi Henrik
The keyword for account balance is InitialCapital and for account equity is initialcapital + openpositionprofit + netprofit.
Here is the code example for last:
Code: Select all
var: _equity(0);
_equity = initialcapital + openpositionprofit + netprofit;
if (_equity < 100000) then buy next bar market;
Thank you

I feel like an idiot, what am I missing?
# The code need to check on my account balance.
# When I start up MC auto-trade the trading yesterday is gone.
How is it possible to check account balance?
Do you have to go in and change the Initial Capital manually every day?

What!!!! Yet more hidden keywords? Is "initialcapital" documented in 6.0? Or do we have to resort to TS documentation to supplement the pathetically outdated documentation that's available for 5.5?

Hi all,
I am sorry i think i misunderstood the question. If you want to get the current account balance and account equity on Broker using keywords then it is not possible. We will implement this option in MultiCharts 7.0.
Thank you

I too greatly need to access account equity in order for my strategy to auto trade. What kind of timeframe are we looking at for the release of MultiCharts 7.0?
Thanks
Adam

Dear Adam333,
