Button BE error

[leojimenezp]

I am trying to have a button that takes an open position that was done manually (charttrader).
but the following error does not appear

McGEnergyValidation.cs	'NinjaTrader.Cbi.Position' does not contain a definition for 'AvgPrice' and no extension method 'AvgPrice' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Cbi.Position' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)	CS1061	341	56

    string currentInstrument = ChartControl.Instrument.FullName;
    Position position = Position; // Obtiene la posición actual del instrumento en la estrategia
    
    Print("Instrumento actual: " + currentInstrument);
    Print("Posición: " + position);

    if (position != null && position.Quantity > 0)
    {
        foreach (var order in Orders)
        {
            if (order.Instrument.FullName == currentInstrument)

Hello leojimenezp,

It is AveragePrice not AvgPrice.

Tk, but It doesn't read the open position I have from the charttrader



I have some Print but in the output I get that it does not take the position

Hello leojimenezp,

In the code you provided you are referencing the strategy Position property which would be the strategies virtual position and not the one in the chart trader. It looks like you are mixing up the account values and strategy values. Looping over the Orders like you are is not supported when using strategies, you should instead be using order instance like the sample here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/using_onorderupdate_and_onexec.htm

If you place trades manually or from other strategies this strategy will not be able to see those orders or positions. A strategy needs to enter the position itself to see it.

With this code: Position position = Position; < this is the strategy virtual position so the strategy needs to have entered a position for this to be populated.
