Hi bodhisvaha.forex,

Equity is not provided by the API. You need to calculate it yourself using the balance and the P&L of the open positions.

Hi Panagiotis,

How can I get "the balance and the P&L of the open positions". Thank you

Hi namth0712,

The balance is available in ProtoOATrader.balance. The P&L of each position needs to be calculated using the position's entry price and the current symbol bid/ask price.

RE:

Hi Panagiotis; 

What method would be recommended if one wants to get the P&L updating in real time?

Thank you,

Hi,

You should use ExecutionEvent to get every trade operation on user account, and also you must subscribe to each position symbol so you will be able to calculate the real time tick value of each symbol for calculating P&L.

We have complete examples of this on our .NET library for Open API: GitHub - spotware/OpenAPI.Net: Spotware Open API .NET Rx library

Try our ASP.NET core or WPF samples.

We can't develop a sample for all programming languages but we will try to do at least for some of the most popular ones.

And I recommend you to read the tutorials on our new Open API documentation: Open API (spotware.github.io)
