Market Position

[edgeliner]

Is there a way if you are long 5 in one direction that you can put in a stipulation like:

if (Positions[1].MarketPosition == 5)
do something????

Hello edgeliner,

Thank you for your post.

The method of using Positions[1].MarketPosition will return an enumeration which indicates position such as long or flat.

In this case you would want to use Positions[1].Quantity instead. This will return the current position size rather then the market position.

For information on Quantity please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...7/quantity.htm
Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello Patrick,

as far I understand position object holds data related to a currently held position by a strategy (Strategy Position). How can I know the total position at market of the account (Account Position)?

I mean position held by the strategy plus any other position by DOM or by other strategies working on the same instruments

I would like to close all open positions at market (created by strategy but also by manual trading) without stopping the strategy itself so NinjaTrader.Gui.SuperDom.SuperDom.FlattenEverythin g(); is not ok

How can I do it by code?

thank you very much

Hello BMM73,

Thank you for your response.

There is no supported solution to pull the account position in NinjaTrader 7.

However, NinjaTrader 8 does provide such a solution through the PositionAccount object. You can find more details at the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ionaccount.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello BMM73,

Thanks for the reply

It seems that I found a solution thanks to this unsupported procedure:

By the way I don't understand why to hide this kind of solutions, better to say "you can try this at your risk because it is an unsupported one"

my 2 cents
