How can I know which is the balance of my account when my strategy has been activated? (Open positions, etc).

Thanks, but I need to know if there is a open position and how is it (size, long position o short position, etc). It's possible to access to this information about the situation of the account? Regards.

Ok, but I want to know which is my global position regardless of which strategy is working. For example, if a strategy begin and there is another one that has been activated before and has an open position, the second strategy must know which is the size of the open position by the other strategy. Its it possible?
