Determine open position size by entry signal name, not the entire open position size?

[EquityTrader]

Hello,

I have a strategy that scales in and scales out using multiple EnterLong() and ExitLong() method calls with different entry signal names. By scaling in, I mean that the EnterLong() method is called multiple times before ExitLong() is called, and the EnterLong() method is always called with a unique signal name that is guaranteed to be different than the signal names used in all of the other calls to EnterLong().

Is there a NinjaScript method that returns the current position size by entry signal name rather than the current position size of the entire position that was opened by multiple calls to EnterLong()?

Thanks in advance!

Hello EquityTrader,

There is not a specific method to track quantities by the signal name, you would need to either track the specific orders by using OnOrderUpdate or use your own means to track individual quantities. If the purpose of tracking the quantities is to be able to later close that amount you can just call the exit order with the entries Signal Name as the From Entry Signal to close that portion for the position.
