    Position.AvgPrice

    Hi Guys,
    just a technical question:
    During bar update process, I need to change dynamically stop orders, so I tried to follow two different approaches to valorize my actual position (p&l), the first is Position.AvgPrice-Close[0] or Close[0]-Position.AvgPrice if short, the second one is Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Points).
    Well, the question is: do the following methods get updated at the same time?

    For example, the code below does a partial exit with 2 different stop orders, when I apply it and when I've been executed limit, the first stop order is not cancelled till the end of the bar, while the second stop order, as the second limit one are placed, so during fast market as today under datas, I've been long 2 with 2 stop orders placed.
    I'm running the code with Calculateonbarclose=false.
    In this case which one is the best method I can use?
    That's a piece of code:
    Code:
    if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long){
    					if (Position.Quantity == ctr)
    					{
    					
    						ExitLongLimit(ctr/3, (Position.AvgPrice + target1), "1st Exit", "");
    						ExitLongStop(ctr, (Position.AvgPrice - stop), "1stStop", "");
    					}
    					else if (Position.Quantity == (ctr/3)*2)
    					
    					{
    						ExitLongLimit(ctr/3, (Position.AvgPrice + target2), "2nd Exit", "");
    					    ExitLongStop(Position.Quantity , (Position.AvgPrice - secondstop), "2ndStop", "");
    						
    					}
    Tnaks

    Yes, both approaches will be updated at the same time yielding the same result.

    Based on your code and running tick by tick, you can have a window of time where you can have two stop orders working. This is because, as you stated, the first stop order will not be cancelled until the end of the bar yet, the new stop order is already working.
