Position status and position qty when flat are not identified well

[doron]

hi

i created new superdom columns script

which works fine

however within this script i wrote :


protected override void OnPositionUpdate(PositionEventArgs positionUpdate)
{



Print("MarketPosition " + positionUpdate.Position.MarketPosition.ToString()) ;

Print(" position QTY" + positionUpdate.Position.Quantity.ToString());


}

if found that when i enter position with 1 contract long

MarketPosition is long and position QTY is 1

when i increase position i.e. buy one more contract

MarketPosition is long and position QTY is 2

when i exist 1 contract ( decrease position )

MarketPosition is long and position QTY is 1

so far all is good

BUT !!

when i exist 1 contract more ( decrease position , expect to become flat )

MarketPosition is long and position QTY is 1

i.e. when position is accually flat it is reported as long with quantity 1

i want to make clear that the super dom report on position as it should
but inside my script the position situation is not identified correctly

Hello doron,

Thank you for your post.

How are you checking the Position and Quantity in the script? In what method are you checking the values? Is this on the execution report in OnExecutionUpdate()?

Do you have a sample script or a piece of code we may test on our end to see the same behavior?

as i wrote
i print in the script
and compair results to DOM
and i know when i am flat or not

Hello doron,

As you have not supplied any code I cannot say anything other then what I previously posted. I would add that you can look to the Super Dom Columns methods, but I assume you are already using these?

Thanks doron,

You would want to use positionUpdate.MarketPosition. This will pull the position of the account rather than the Position object and then the MarketPosition. I will forward to Product Management as they are updating the documentation.
