Seeing positions of other strategies

[elitetradernyc]

Hey guys, is there anyway to see if another strategy has a position open?

Here's what I want to do:
Inside strategy 2, I want to check to see if strategy 1 already has an open position, if so, bypass strategy 2 opening a position, if strategy 1 is flat, then strategy 2 would open a position.

Anyway to do this?

Thanks,

Hello EliteTraderNYC,

I am not aware of a way to get a Strategy's position from one strategy to another besides writing values to a file and reading them in another strategy but there is an unsupported method to be able to get an Account's position that you may use to see if your account is Flat or in a position so that you may bypass this.

The following link will give you an example of this unsupported way to get a position from an account.
