get Account position from within Strategy

[Tony345]

Hi,

Is there a function to get Account position from within Strategy? I know there is Position.Quantity, but that is the quantity for this particular strategy.

I 'd like the Strategy be aware of total number of, say EMini, contracts the account already holds, stopping add more if total contracts resulted from other running strategy has exceeded certain limit.

Thanks.

Hello Tony345,

Thank you for your post.

This kind of programming is not supported with NinjaTrader and we do not have any documentation on the subject.

However, you can take a look at the options available for using your strategy and sync account position from the link below -

Can I write/read an outside file from Strategy

Hi,

Following up on the original objective, can I write/read an outside file from Strategy? I am running multiple strategies on same instrument. Don't want to be over some limit.

Thanks

Getting ACCOUNT position

If you are like me and simply want the account position - I have the solution.

If(Position.Account.Positions.Count == 0)


will test for any instrument position... be aware...

1 contract Long ES = 1
2 contracts long ES = 1

1 contract long ES && 4 contracts long NQ = 2.

The function counts the number of different instruments that are present in the account. A short position equals 1 as well. NOT -1.

If you are running a multi instrument strategy then use this code smippet:

if (BarsInProgress == i
&& Positions[i].Account.Positions.Count > 0)

do something:

Could have done with this six months ago... regards to all.
