Access to Previous Bar MarketPosition

[zerosum666]

Hi

I need to access the MarketPosition in previous bars directly from the OnBarUpdate() method.

Any hint as to what is the best way to accomplish it?

Thanks

Hello zerosum666,

Unfortunately MarketPosition is not available for prior bars, only its current state. You could consider building this into a 3-state data series with something like the below. You could then reference prior bars of your data series.

Please see here for help working with custom data series.

if(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
myDataSeries.Set(0);

else if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
myDataSeries.Set(1);

else if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
myDataSeries.Set(-1);
