How to tell when position is negative

06-29-2011, 07:38 PM

Hi,
I would like to place a feature in my strategy that will "know" when I'm in a negative position. It would be something like a stoploss without exiting the trade. Could someone give me an idea on how to identify that?

CaptainAmericaXX,

Thank you for your post.

You will need to check the unrealized PnL for that trades. Please see our Help Guide section on theGetProfitLoss() method for more information:

Also see the Market Position method for information on how to check for long or short orders:
