NTClosePosition() not working?

[douggreen]

I've written a simple TradeStation strategy that uses the NTDLL interface to manage orders, and put it in the current Euro contract 1 minute bar. The strategy buys properly, but can not close the order. While it's possible for me to simply call NTSellMarket() instead of NTClosePosition(), I was hoping that NTClosePosition() was more reliable, closing everything, just in case I had more open positions in the account than my strategy knew about. Is there anything wrong with the script? Is there possibly a bug in NTClosePosition()? Do you recommend NTSellMarket() instead of NTClosePosition()?

vars: IsLiveTrading(False);
IsLiveTrading = LastBarOnChart and NTConnected(0) and (IsLiveTrading[1] or DateToJulian(Date) >= DateToJulian(CurrentDate) - 1);

if IsLiveTrading and BarStatus(1) = 2 then begin
vars: Order.Position(0), Order.OpenContracts(0), Order.EntryBar(0);
Value1 = NTMarketPosition("Sim101");
Order.Position = Sign(Value1);
Order.OpenContracts = AbsValue(Value1);

vars: Live.Pending.Id("");
if Order.Position = 0 and Live.Pending.Id = "" then begin
Live.Pending.Id = "";
Value9 = NTBuyMarket(Live.Pending.Id, 10);
print("Buy " + numtostr(Close, GTG.TickPrecision) + " on " + numtostr(CurrentBar, 0));
Order.EntryBar = CurrentBar;
end else begin
print("Order is open on Current Bar " + numtostr(CurrentBar, 0));

if Live.Pending.Id <> "" and NTFilled(Live.Pending.Id) = 10 then begin
Live.Pending.Id = "";
print("Order is Filled");
end;

if CurrentBar = Order.EntryBar + 2 then begin
Value9 = NTClosePosition("Sim101");
// NTSellMarket(NTNewOrderId, 10);
print("NTClosePosition");
end;
end;
end;

Doug, any errors you see in the log tab as the AT receives the TS Close Position order?

Does it work any different if you use the ATI default account as specified in NT (like below) ?

if CurrentBar = Order.EntryBar + 2 then begin
Value9 = NTClosePosition("");
print("NTClosePosition");
end;
end;
end;

Nothing in the log tab. It does work if I use the default account "".

Thanks for reporting back Doug, we'll look into it further.
