Indicator knows market position.

Is there a way that indicator will know if the position is flat,short or long?

Hello edward_bell,

Thank you for your note.

This is not possible without using a strategy to pull the Position.MarketPosition. Please visit the following link for information on Position.MarketPosition: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...etposition.htm

Hello ShaneAU,

Thank you for your post.

It is possible in NT 8 and NT 7 by running through the collection of accounts and positions.

In NT 8:

			foreach (Account acct in NinjaTrader.Cbi.Account.Accounts)
			{
				if (acct.Positions != null)
				{
					foreach (Position pos in acct.Positions)
					{
						Print(pos.Account.Name + " " + pos.Instrument + " " + pos.MarketPosition + " " + pos.Quantity + " " + pos.AveragePrice);
					}
				}
			}

In NT 7:

foreach (Account acct in Cbi.Globals.Accounts)
{
if (acct.Positions != null)
{
PositionCollection positions = acct.Positions;
foreach (Position pos in positions)
{
Print(pos.Account.Name + " " + pos.Instrument + " " + pos.MarketPosition + " " + pos.Quantity + " " + pos.AvgPrice);
}
}
