Where can I find additional samples reference for OnPositionUpdate() ?

[pstrusi]

I can't find anything else that shows actually how is implemented : averageFillPrice, quantity...etc. I've tried different variations but fail on compilation.

Thanks

Hello pstrusi,

I wasn't able to locate an example using these values from OnPositionUpdate(), so I have created one that prints these values and attached.
OnPositionUpdateTest_NT8.zip

I can also provide an example that uses the SystemPerformance collection when the position updates.

Chelsea, I appreciate your example, it's helping me but still there's some confusion. I have to ask:

1. What is the difference between: position.AveragePrice and averagePrice??
2. What is the difference between: position.Quantity, and quantity ?
3. Why in the NT8 guide tells as Method Parameters things like: averageFillPrice when there's not even in the example that you gave? So, the guide is wrong?

I just want to know these values for the recent position changes when this method is called after any execution.




Looking forward.
Thanks in advance

Hello pstrusi,

These are basically the same. The position.AveragePrice is the AveragePrice saved in the position object that is updating, while the averagePrice is the same parameter directly passed to the method. Same with the position.Quantity and quantity.

If you have tested the script I have provided you, you should be able to see the values update after the position changes.


I will note to our development we need to update the help guide to reflect averagePrice instead of averageFillPrice.
