ntmarketposition("12345!Dorman!Dorman") is returning zero
when there is a live trade in the account.
Sim101 is working.

Please be sure that is the correct account string since Sim101 works for you.

Order generated from TradeStation? Submitted to 24920!Dorman!Dorman?

correct, you can see that sim101 works fine and dorman executed, but did not run.

If you open the NTMarketPosition function you will see it just wraps the NTDirect.dll function "MarketPosition". Can you try ammending the NTMarketPosition function temporarily and replace the GetSymbolName paramter with "FDAX 03-09" and try again and see if you get the proper return value?

Thanks

Also, what NT version are you running, Help > About.

version 6.5 1000.7 mb live
thanks for the tip on
NTMarketPosition = MarketPosition(GetSymbolName, Account);
I had been running it on a es chart.
All makes sense now.

That would be it then kiwibird. Also, we do recommend upgrading to NT6.5.1000.8.
