lock object is never used. Why?

[giogio1]

Thank you Chelsea. It works perfectly.

I noticed that on the documentation

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpguides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?positions_account.ht m
any access to account / positions is thread safe

but the examples in ProfitChaseStopTrailExamples_NT8.zip (ProfitChaseStopTrailAddonExample.cs and ProfitChaseStopTrailIndicatorExample.cs) the lock object is never used. Why?

Hello Gio,

I've moved this post to a new thread as this was not on the subject of the thread you posted to. (Discussing the API)

These examples do not loop over the Account.Orders or Account.Positions collections and there is no need to lock anything.

That's great. Thank you. I am left curious of what is different in the Documentation's example that the lock is required?

Hello giogio1,

A lock is required to make sure you get a hold on the collection while you are doing something like iterating through a loop of items.
