Easy Account Question

[delTik]

can anyone tell why my account positions are not printed (see attached).

if I load the strategy when account already long then it works ok.

if I replace EnterLong with ExitLong and load the strategy when account already long (Start Behavior = Immediately Submit) then it stays long.

Q1. Is there a simulated time delay before updating the simulated account?
Q2. if the strategy is flat and account long, is exitlong ignored?
Q3. if strategy has no orders is Position.Account.CancelAllOrders ignored?

Hello delTik,

Thank you for your post.

The method you are using is for the Add Ons, please try what is detailed at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...etposition.htm

Q1. No there is no simulated delay before updating the simulation account.

Q2. ExitLong would only be required if you are trying to flatten the account. You may consider looking into the StartBehavior or Adopting the Account Position.
StartBehavior: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rtbehavior.htm
Adopting the Account Position: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...itionaware.htm

Q3. No, this is account specific and not strategy specific.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

"No there is no simulated delay before updating the simulation account."

using the attached strategy, if I enterlong and immediately try and print the account positions then it doesn't appear to work. any ideas?

Hello delTik,

Thank you for your response.

The prints are working on my end:

Position: Long at 2100.5

Can you provide details on what you are seeing that is not working?
