update ... I am using the IPosition, which is working fine as far as identifying the status of a trade within the OnPositionUpdate section. However I need to access the "position.MarketPosition" in the "OnBarUpdate()" section of my code. I get a message that 'position' does not exist in the current context. What am I doing wrong? Tx!

Have you tried 'Position.MarketPosition' instead of 'position.MarketPosition'?

Is there a difference with upper or lower case in this instance? User Guide example under OnPositionUpdate() shows lowercase for "position."
Thanks

Ken,

It depends on what you typed in when you created the OnPositionUpdate() method.

protected override void OnPositionUpdate(IPosition position)
{

}


In this case inside of OnPositionUpdate you would use a lower case p 'position'.


protected override void OnPositionUpdate(IPosition Position)
{

}


In this case you would use an upper ase P 'Position'


Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
