Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long

[Stratagemma]

In the context of OnBarUpdate

if ( conditions )
{
entryorder = EnterLong(Quantity, label);
}


If these four conditions below are TRUE:
order == entryorder
order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled
order.OrderState != OrderState.PartFilled
order != null



Is this condition below ALWAYS going to be TRUE?
Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long



Thanks

Hello Stratagemma,

While if an order fills this will create a long position, this will happen asynchronously. Meaning there may be a moment before OnPositionUpdate runs where the Position.MarketPosition has not yet been updated.

Also, if another order gets you out of the trade, the MarketPosition is no longer long, so this will not stay true.

So I can't say thats exactly always true, but in a general sense, yes it mostly will be.
