Position.GetMarketPrice()

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this method.

Hello,

Position.GetMarketPrice() is in the Core namespace, rather than NinjaScript. It is one of those internally-used methods that we left exposed for developers to use if they wish, but there are several recommended alternatives that should do the job, such as Close[0], or raw data captured in OnMarketData().

That being said, we always keep our ears open for users requesting additional documentation. Can you explain why it would be compelling to use this method over the other approaches in your scenario?

Hi Dave,
I was really just curious what it did as there was no documentation. My interest was sparked as I was trying to calculate the Npv of a position in the OnOrderUpdate event in a multi-symbol strategy. Unfortunately it is a bit difficult because I don't believe there is a way to tell when the event will be fired and what BarsInProgress the event is liked to so I can't pull the current price from the Closes series. When I ran into this issue is when I came across that method.
