Problem with position tab

[Am851]

HI,

The following code outputs the position that difers from one shown in Positions tab of Control Center.

if (FirstTickOfBar){
Print (Time[0] + "start : "+ Position.MarketPosition + " = " + Position.Quantity );

Also the oredrs that are placed to exit positions, are exiting acording to position i see in my output and not what i see in a tab

What am i doing wrong?


Thanks

Am851, when you start a strategy, it goes through all the historical bars and returns a position the strategy thinks it should be in. This is known as a strategy position and it can and will be different from the account position until the strategy is able to synchronize itself. It is a "virtual" position.

This link explains the differences between account position and strategy position.
