wrong Position quantity

[vjsworld]

I am filling an array with my position information according to BarsInProgress during onBarUpdate.

When I print this out though, it puts my last fill information instead of my position quantity into the array Instr[10, i].

Can you see why? Here is the code snipit:

/// WRITE POSTION INFO TO INSTR ARRAY
for (int i = 0; i < mySymbol.Count; i++)
{
if (BarsInProgress == i && Close[0] != 0)
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) Instr[10, i] = 0;
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) Instr[10, i] = Position.Quantity;
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short) Instr[10, i] = Position.Quantity * -1;

Instr[11, i] = Position.AvgPrice;

Print("BIP: " + BarsInProgress + mySymbol[i] + " Qty: " + Instr[10, i] + " Avg$:" + Instr[11, i]);
}
}

I know what's going on. When I restart the strategy it does not pickup the existing trades from its last run. I know how to query those with your 'unsupported':
foreach (Account acct in Cbi.Globals.Accounts)

I'll do a work around.

Hello,

Try using Positions[i] instead

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?positions.htm

This will allow you to specify the correct instrument

Let me know if I can further assist.

Nope, still picks up zeros until a new trade happens. Then only populates the new trade info ignoring the 'old existing' trades. Does not tell my actual MP, just the new fill info as though that's my only MP.

Gotta do the workaround.

Ok thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize you were trying to pick up orders when restarting the script.

Not orders, previous positions

previous position qty + current fill qty = actual position
