Getting the Account Balance from Interactive Brokers into SC spreadsheet

I am trying to use a Sierra Chart Spreadsheet and automatically get the Balance of my Interactive Brokers Account to put into my SC spreadsheet. The reason for this is because I use some extensive Money Management algorithm and I always need to keep track of my latest Account Balance in Interactive Brokers in all of the currencies that are in the Account.

I use these balances to automatically establish how much I have in my home currency (GBP) in real-time using the SC exchange rates in the spreadsheet.

The problem I am having is working out how to get my Interactive Brokers Balances (in the multiple currencies) into a SC spreadsheet?

I can also use ASCIL if this will help if you can point me in the right direction?

Regards and thanks

Are you aware you can get the base account balance in the spreadsheet? Other than this, you cannot get any other currency balance into a spreadsheet or access it with ACSIL.

I wasn't aware of this
1) Where is the documentation please so I can do this?
2) Is the base account balance a summed total of all the currencies (converted at their exchange rate) from the broker or just the amount of currency in the nominated base currency?

1. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SystemsAlerts.php#CellJ47

2. We do not know. You should ask IB and have a look at the value and try to make your own determination.
