calculating risk position
09 Sep 2020, 17:32

Hi,

I can calculate the risk of my position with just the volume and account balance, but the volume is in USD and account is GBP, there is a BaseToUsdConversionRate but it is at 1 when an order execution event comes through, it should be at 1.29 today.

Thanks

I've realised the base conversion is just for the symbol, is there an easy way to convert the balance or do i need to send a request for it?.

Hi Ketu,

You can use ProtoOASymbolsForConversionReq to get a conversion chain and convert from one symbol to another.
