how to test for position flat in OnBarUpdate

[llanqui]

the help system has this snippet

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// If not flat print our open PnL
if (PositionAccount.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
Print("Open PnL: " + PositionAccount.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(Performanc eUnit.Points, Close[0]));
}

but I get a compile error...

The name 'PositionAccount' does not exist in the current context how to fix? thx

Hello llanqui,

Thank you for your post.

Is this an indicator? If so, please note that PositionAccount is not available. This is something only available to strategies.

To get position info from an indicator, you can use the Account class using Add On.

Positions - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ns_account.htm

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
