Capture Avg Cost of multiple positions

[photog53]

I often have multiple trades running at the same time, often going in both directions (long & short). The trick of course is to take the shorts out at lows and the longs out at highs....but additionally I MUST know exactly where my average cost is, so that at the very least I take longs out above and shorts out below the avg cost line.

I want to code an indicator that tracks the average cost of manually entered orders,
(entry Price factored by # of contracts)....and then simply prints it on the screen.
My questions are....
1. Where do I capture the entry price /# of contracts for a manually
entered order?
2. Where do I capture the fact that all orders have been filled...at which point
I reset the average cost back to "0" (or whatever)....and wait for the next round
of orders.

NOTE: The Ninja DOM tracks PnL based on FIFO, last price, etc. but I have not found a way to make it only track avg cost based on multiple entries. It insists of reseting the cost based on where orders got taken out.
While the PnL calc is useful for tracking where my account is at any given time, it does not give me a simple average cost based purely on entry.

Thanks.............

Hello photog53,

1. This information is not available programatically. It's only available from strategy generated orders.

2. This is also only available within a strategy context for strategy-placed orders.

Unfortunately NinjaScript does not provide an interface for accessing these details for manually placed orders.

Hmmm.... (I was afraid that would be the answer).

Thanks for answering back.

P.S. It would be very nice if the Ninja DOM had a checkbox option (like FIFO) that simply calculated the average cost of all orders entered, and highlighted that price on the DOM.

Thanks for the suggestion photog53, we will add it to our list of feedback received.

havent tested it, but Accout.Positions gives the PositionCollection. from there one can scrap the avg price of each instument, they may be sent via charttrader/strategy/strategies.

but dont think Account can be accessed via an indicator. one has to use an strategy.

again havent tested it, so my apologies in advance if i am wrong.
