{
    "positions": [
        {
            "type": "NinjaTrader.Cbi.Position",
            "account": "Sim101",
            "instrument": "ES 12-25",
            "instrumentType": "Future",
            "marketPosition": "Long",
            "quantity": 4,
            "averagePrice": 5779.8125,
            "marketPrice": 5796.25,

        }
    ],

}

400

{
  "error": "Invalid request"
}

Platform nuances

NT8 returns the position collection in positions. Each position uses marketPosition for its side and includes the current unrealizedProfitLoss.

WebSocket API

This request can also be made over the WebSocket API. The account path parameter is passed inside args.

{
  "action": "rpc",
  "id": "my-request-id",
  "api": "ListPositions",
  "args": {
    "account": "Sim101"
  }
}

Tradovate

Headers

Name	Value
Content-Type	application/json
Authorization	Bearer <token>

Path parameters

Code examples

url = "https://app.crosstrade.io/v1/api/tv/accounts/DEMO12345678/positions"

    print(f"Response Code: {response.status_code}, Response Text: {response.text}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

JavaScript

const token = 'my-secret-token';

const url = "https://app.crosstrade.io/v1/api/tv/accounts/DEMO12345678/positions";

fetch(url, {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`
  }
})
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

cURL

TOKEN="my-secret-token"

curl -X GET "https://app.crosstrade.io/v1/api/tv/accounts/DEMO12345678/positions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Response

Successful reads return {"success": true, "data": ...}. For this endpoint, data is the fill-reconciled list of open positions for the account.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": []
}

Platform nuances

• {account} identifies a Tradovate account rather than an NT8 account.
• The positions are fill-reconciled and returned in data, not the NT8 positions field.
• The endpoint works while NinjaTrader is closed.

See the Tradovate API overview for the full field grammar, mutation safety guarantees, and error table.
