Getting Position in Strategy in Different Timeframe

[kezyclaire]

Hi,

How do I get my current position that was not bought or sold by that strategy? I have the same strategy running in different chart, 1 Minute and 5 Minutes. 5 Minutes strategy bought a share, and sent a profit limit order and a stoploss. Now the 1 Minute strategy is sending sell order. After my position is flat, it is still sending limit and stop loss orders and the 5 Minute strategy also still have pending orders. How do I determine my positions even if it is not performed by that strategy?

Thanks.

hello keyzclaire,

Thanks for your post.

Strategies are only able to see orders placed by that specific instance of the strategy. Note that strategies also cannot see manually placed orders or orders placed by another strategy.

Please review this forum thread for information about running two NinjaScript strategies on the same account and same instrument: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...660#post792660

You could consider modifying the strategies to check if the account position is flat before placing an order if you only want the strategies to submit orders when your account is in a flat position.

PositionAccount.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat would be used to check if your account position is flat before submitting orders.

See the help guide documentation below for more information about PositionAccount.MarketPosition and sample code.
