Best way to retreive account balance

Hi,
I want to be calculate position size based on the current account equity for each new trade. What is the best way to retrieve the current equity in Multicharts.net?

Thanks

Hello Bentley,

You can access the actual equity in backtesting at any given time this way: IStrategy.InitialCapital Property + ClosedEquity + OpenEquity.
In realtime you can access the Account.Equity Property

Hello

I'm fairly new at programming and automated trading, so I have trouble getting started without examples. Would you help me please by showing the code I'd use in VB to get the account balance for both realtime and backtesting?

Many thanks
