Problem with PositionAccount in strategy.

[tanas.eduard]

Hi, i'm using version 8.0.28.0 64-bit.
PositionAccount.MarketPosition and PositionAccount.Quantity don't work as expected(on SIM or IB TWS).

Case 1 to reproduce:

1. OnBarUpdate Add Print status

   " Print(PositionAccount.MarketPosition.ToString() + " " + PositionAccount.Quantity.ToString());​"

2. When start strategy I don't have opened position on account.
3. When strategy is running I open position via broker terminal or NT ChartTrader
4. Code print always that market Position is flat and Quantity is 0

Case 2 to reproduce:

1. When start strategy I have opened position on account.
2. Code print correct information about position
3. When strategy is running I close position via broker terminal or NT ChartTrader
4. Code print always that market Potion is previous status and previous quantity

Seems like PositionAccount for Strategy Updated only when strategy started, after does not updated.

How can I retrieve real data in real-time?

Hello, thanks for writing in. PositionAccount is working for me. I attached my test script if you would like to try this out. Please make sure you are running the supported version of TWS/Gateway. They can be downloaded here:

Thanks! I found my mistake. I try to access data from UI thread, and I think it was a problem.
