Position.Market position states flat

[ballboy11]

I am trying to do some logic on my stops but am having an issue with Position.MarketPosition. When I am in a long position Position.MarketPosition still states it is flat. How do I know if the position is long?



if(GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) != MarketPosition.Flat )
{


Print(Position.MarketPosition);

if(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, (Position.AveragePrice - 10*TickSize),"Stop1",atmStrategyId);

}
}

Hello ballboy11,

Thank you for your note.

ATM strategies from within a NinjaScript strategy will have no impact on the hosting strategies position and PL, please see the 4th bullet point at the following section of our helpguide,

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?using_atm_strategies.htm

For the position of the ATM you should use, GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) as your first if statement does.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
