command required to print the current position to the output window?

[joemiller]

I am able to implement the MarketPosition function because I have only to copy the example from the UserGuide and maybe slightly modify it.
I am now trying to print to the output window the position itself.

I have no understanding of VB structure and syntax so please tell me the command required to print the current position to the output window. I have unsuccessfully tried various modifications of Position.MarketPosition.

Without seeing your code in question, I can only offer up what NT HELP suggests:

Examples

Position
    
 

Definition

The Position object holds data related to a currently held position by a strategy.

 

Methods and Properties

AvgPrice
 Gets the average entry price of the strategy position
 
GetProfitLoss()
 Gets the unrealized PnL
 
MarketPosition
 Gets the current market position
 
Quantity
 Gets the current position size
 

 

 

Examples

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Print out the average entry price

    Print("The average entry price is " + Position.AvgPrice);
}

it worked....thanks

thanks Sledge
Position.MarketPosition is one combination I must not have experimented with.

the following worked:
Print("The market position is " + Position.MarketPosition);
