Hi Figos,

Position.MarketPosition returns type marketposition (Flat, Long, or Short), which is not a numeric value for adding or subtracting. What is it you're looking to do?

I want to get entry price for open long or short position and use it with subtraction operation.

For price there is a property that is easy to access Position.AvgPrice

You can add or subtract this value.

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
Print(Position.AvgPrice - 10);

If you want to work with specific execution price, it is advanced NinjaScript. You must structure your orders as objects and expose using IExecution.

And if I want to use entry price for open position in calculating stop.

Yes, you can use Position.AvgPrice as your entry price and add or subtract it.
