Hello!

Let's say my strategy is trading live on a sim account, and I want to process live the current equity state.

How to access the equity data (profit, losses, current balance etc...) while live trading?

Is there ACSIL interface that I can use inside my study?

How does it work with replay analysis and bar based backtest, how to access equity data within the study in these cases?

We offer two different U.S. Equity options.

The first is our older Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed with the U.S. Equities exchange. This data does NOT have market depth data, but does have the full consolidated tape information.

The second is our newer Denali Exchange Data Feed with the NASDAQ TotalView exchange. This data does have market depth data, but it does NOT have the consolidated tape information (just the primary exchange data). We are working on getting the consolidated tape information for this option, but we do not have it yet.

Therefore it depends on your needs as to which one to use. You will find the links to the Setup Instructions for each one below:

- Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed:

- Denali Exchange Data Feed:

This data is always available and is downloaded to your local system. This is the same data that you would use when backtesting.

For simulated trading there is no account balance. However, there are a lot of detailed trading statistics available:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics Tab

And those are accessible through ACSIL:
ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetTradeStatisticsForSymbolV2()
