Check orders

[aprendiz]

Hi,

I want to know if I have an opened position.

If Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat ----- this would mean I have an opened position, right?

If Position.MarketPosition = MarketPosition.Flat -------- this would mean I don't have any opened position, right?

Is there another way to know it?



Is posible to check if there is an order waiting to be filled with the strategy builder?
Can we know if its a buying or selling order?
How?

I was trying with bars since exit execution but is not working

Thanks

Hello aprendiz,

Thank you for the post.

The two samples you have provided and their descriptions match and that is correct. You can also compare specific positions similar to what you have:

If Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long
If Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short


In the builder it is not possible to store order objects so it would not be possible to work with the state such as awaiting a fill. Depending on the goal you may be able to use the Position or variables.

To know if it was a buy/sell order depends on what you are asking to do with that information. Do you mean how to execute logic only when an order was long? If so you would use the MarketPosition.Long for that use case and the logic would only be executed if you entered a long position.


I look forward to being of further assistance.
