Need to store Position.MarketPosition

[traderjh]

Hello,

I wanted to store Position.MarketPosition type when it has Long or Short into a variable with string defined but I get an error in programming. Is there a way to store a type into a variable?
...
private string previousPosition;
...
previousPosition = Position.MarketPosition;

Thanks for your reply!

Hello traderjh,

Thanks for your note.

To save the market position to a string try:

private string previousPosition;
previousPosition = Position.MarketPosition.ToString();

To save the market position as the market position object try:

private MarketPosition previousPosition;
previousPosition = Position.MarketPosition;

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.
