no position size in some overloads

[jg123]

In some order options, for example ExitLongStop(), some of the overloads do not have an option for position size. What happens if no position size is entered as an overload? Does it simply exit the full position that was used in the EnterLongStop()?

Hello Jg123,

Thank you for your note.

Yes, if no contract size is entered for the overload it will exit all the open positions for that direction.

Oh okay. All the open positions. That is good to know.

will it be all the open positions that were opened via that strategy, or does this also include positions that were entered via another strategy and/or positions that were entered manually directly into the TWS or NT without the assistance of an automated strategy?

Jg123,

You have say 11 long positions for the strategy open and you submit ExitLongStop()

That order will be for 11 contracts to close out the strategy's positions and nothing else.

[jg123]

okay, regardless of how each contract was opened. right?

Jg123,

No, this will be kept towards the running strategy's positions and not close out any other positions.
