Printing the position

[eswap0]

Hi!
I just want to add a text in a chart showing the position.
i tried with: Print(Position.MarketPosition), but it doesnt' work.
I already know how to add text to a chart: just need the code to get the position.
Thanks!

Well, the Print() command will only print to the Output Window.

If you know how to add text to the chart, use this for the print instead.

Position.MarketPosition.ToString()

I am getting an error while compliling.
Sure I can use this command also for indicators?
Thanks!

eswap0,

Please add the .ToString() as shown in mrlogik's post earlier. You need to have this for it to print.

Thanks Josh,

I undrestood .ToString() was needed only if i wanted to print it in the chart: as a first step, Output window is enought for me.
Please check again attached file: similar error...
Thanks!

eswap0,

You need to add .ToString() regardless if it is on a chart or in the Output Window. The Print() function only prints to the Output Window.

I cannot understand your errors. You will need to translate them into English. But for one thing, Position.MarketPosition cannot be used from an Indicator. There is no concept of a position from an indicator because an indicator never trades.

The errors in orange are errors in your other files. You need to double click them to bring up your other files and address those errors as well.

As I posted previously, I was afraid it was not going to work in an indicator...
Any other way to print the current position without using strategies?
I use to have multiple charts open in my screen with different instruments and I would like to quickly see which I am in (short or long) and which I am not.
Thanks!

No, there is no concept of positions from an indicator. If you just want to see position, can you not open up Chart Trader?

Yes, this could work, although I already posted my problem here with Chart Trader.
I would prefer to add via ninjascript a small coloured sign near a border.
Bad luck.
Thanks anyway!
