Position.Quantity

[scottd77]

Is it possible to plot the current position size held? I've tried AddPlot() using the Position.Quantity, but have not been able to find the proper sequence.

Hello scottd77,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Is it possible to plot the current position size held? I've tried AddPlot() using the Position.Quantity, but have not been able to find the proper sequence.

Are you looking to do this in NinjaTrader 7 or 8? Are you looking for a specific strategy's position or the account position?

I look forward to your response.

Sorry should have been more specific. I"m using NT8 and I'm looking for a specific strategy position.

Hello scottd77,

Thank you for your response.

Attached is an example of plotting the Unrealized PnL from within a strategy.

Thanks Patrick. I've taken the code example and played around with it a bit to try and get the total number of contracts i'm net short/long for the strategy, While i now can get a plot line, it's just a zero horizontal line and it doesn't pickup when i see in simulation where the strategy has bought or sold a contract.
