Definition of Current Position Size

[johnMoss]

I'm not finding this. Is this the number of currently open entry signals in an active trade?

Example:
If I have say 5 open positions [contracts] on initial entry, each uniquely identified with separate proprietary signals and the first target gets hit, will the event handler going forward recognize that the first signal is closed out and therefore reduce current position size from 5 to 4?

Hi John, thanks for posting.

The position size will always be updated as soon as possible. In unlocked scripts, you can override OnPositionUpdate or OnExecutionUpdate to get updates exactly when the position changes. In the builder you can get this value through Strategy>Current Position Size,

Kind regards,
