Currently I am using this code (provided by the group) to list the current open positions in my paper-trading account at IB.
My question is, what would I need to add to this query to find out what the remaining cash position is in the account?
If I can get that, it would be most helpful for being able to calculate the rise and fall of the portfolio.
Thanks if anybody knows.
