Position.MarketPosition from an indicator -> doesn't work

[artson]

Hi,

I'm trying to obtain information about a running strategy and the account.
I have a strategy running, and in paralell I put an indicator sending messages to me when a new order is sent.
I do get the information from the strategy (direction, volume and position of the strategy), but when I try to get the information from the account it doesn't work to me.

Is because I'm doing it from an indicator?, should I do it from a strategy?

I'm running the strategy on the main instrument (YM) in SIM, and sending the real orders to MYM..., because of that I have to check both the strategy and the real account.

Thanks!

Hello artson,

Thank you for your note.

Position.MarketPosition would only work within a Strategy as it specifically is referencing the strategy position. From within an indicator to get the account position you'd need to look through the collection of accounts and positions using Add-on code:

private Account myAccount;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
// Find our Sim101 account
lock (Account.All)
myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");
}

if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
lock (myAccount.Positions)
{
Print("Positions in State.DataLoaded:");

foreach (Position position in myAccount.Positions)
{
Print(String.Format("Position: {0} at {1}", position.MarketPosition, position.AveragePrice));
}
}
}
}
