OnExecutionUpdate() e.MarketPosition question

[zacharydw00]

Within a private void OnExecutionUpdate(object sender, ExecutionEventArgs e) event handler, is e.MarketPosition supposed to return the executed order's market position or should it return the account's market position (of the instrument the order executed on)?

Side note: I need the account's MarketPosition during OnExecutionUpdate() to do some calculations which can't wait for OnPositionUpdate().

Hello zacharydw00,

This would be the market direction of the specific entry. (I.e. a sell order when flat would be market position short, while a sell order when long would be market position flat)

The account position can be found with PositionAccount, but keep in mind this is asynchronously updated from the script. I would recommend waiting until after the script position updates in OnPositionUpdate().
