Definition

PositionUpdate can be used for subscribing to position update events.

 

Note: Remember to unsubscribe if you are no longer using the subscription.

 

Syntax

PositionUpdate

 

 

Examples

ns

/* Example of subscribing/unsubscribing to position update events from an Add On. The concept can be carried over

to any NinjaScript object you may be working on. */

public class MyAddOnTab : NTTabPage
{
    private Account account;
    public MyAddOnTab()
    {
        // Find our Sim101 account
        lock (Account.All)
              account = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");
 
        // Subscribe to position updates
        if (account != null)
              account.PositionUpdate += OnPositionUpdate;
    }
 
    // This method is fired as a position changes
    private void OnPositionUpdate(object sender, PositionEventArgs e)
    {
        // Output the new position
        NinjaTrader.Code.Output.Process(string.Format("Instrument: {0} MarketPosition: {1} AveragePrice: {2} Quantity: {3}",
              e.Position.Instrument.FullName, e.MarketPosition, e.AveragePrice, e.Quantity), PrintTo.OutputTab1);
    }
 
    // Called by TabControl when tab is being removed or window is closed
    public override void Cleanup()
    {
        // Make sure to unsubscribe to the positions subscription
        if (account != null)
              account.PositionUpdate -= OnPositionUpdate;
    }
 
    // Other required NTTabPage members left out for demonstration purposes. Be sure to add them in your own code.
}

 

 

Tip: The core MarketPosition e.Position is considered flat when Operation.Remove is seen, thus any related tracking in your logic you want to trigger or update should be aware. An Operation.Update would be seen if there was no flat state in between, i.e. on a reverse of the position.
