I would like to call Portfolio.Account.Deposit from within OnStrategyInit. Like so:

protected override void OnStrategyInit()
{
Portfolio.Account.Deposit(1000000, CurrencyId.USD, "Initial allocation");
}

This causes a null pointer exception because at this point Portfolio is still null.

However this does work:

protected override void OnStrategyInit()
{
Init();
Portfolio.Account.Deposit(1000000, CurrencyId.USD, "Initial allocation");
}

I find this strange because I expected that if OnStrategyInit has been called that would mean that Init() has been called already? Is this understanding correct? How is it that OnStrategyInit has been called before Init()?

Hello,
What type of strategy are you using?
How do you adding instrument to a strategy?

I'm using InstrumentStrategy_

To add an instrument I call strategy.Add(instrument)

Any progress here?

Typically Portfolio.Account.Deposit() called OnStrategyStart event.
InstrumentStrategy has not substrategies for instruments at OnStrategyInit moment.
