How tor ead the account position from strategy

[pakricard]

Hi:

My scenario is:
have 2 strategies (called ST_A and ST_B working simultaneously on the same instrument).

For timimg reason, ST_A is excuted first and probably I have a position in the market when ST_B wants to fire another order. I don't want 2 positions at the market, just want the second strategy to avoid entering the market again

Briefly, I just need to read from ST_B if the account position is NOT flat to avoid the EnterLong()
Something like
if (Account_is_flat())
{
EnterLong();
}

Will (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) do the trick? As far as I tested it, it seems to be startegy position, not account position.

Thanks!

Here is some generic code to query all account positions. It should give you some ideas on how to go about getting or querying data about any and/or all account positions.

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); //example code. Here is where you will grab what info you want. 
}
}

There are probably other examples if you search the fora.

Hello pakricard,

With koganam example you should be able to get any open positions for your account but this method is just not supported since NinjaTrader was designed that each Strategy has its own virtual Position so it is independent of the Account.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
