Position Change During OnBarUpdate

[FatCanary]

Hi

If, for example, I have a long position which then gets closed, does NT recognise this immediately (i.e. within the OnBarUpdate event in which the position was closed) or does it have to wait until the next OnBarUpdate event?

In other words, if I have some code that now checks for 'if Position.Flat', will it be actioned during the same OnBarUpdate event in which the position was closed?

Hope that makes sense :-)

Hello FatCanary,

This will not be recognized until the next OnBarUpdate event. Your code that checks when flat is executed after your position is closed and not at the same time.

Aha! That would explain why I'm having the problem that I'm having.

Many thanks for the swift reply.
