is there a way to refresh PositionAccount?

[elirion]

hi experts, need your help in this.

[Scenario 1:]
I started my strategy, then 1 place a long trade manually via chart-trader. When my strategy checks for PositionAccount.MarketPosition, it returns MarketPosition.Flat

[Scenario 2:]
I place a long trade manually via chart-trader, then i start my strategy. When my strategy checks for PositionAccount.MarketPosition, it returns MarketPosition.Long

It seems like in Scenario 1, the PositionAccount.MarketPosition doesn't get refreshed. Is there anyway I can trigger a refresh ?

Hello elirion,

The PositionAccount is updated when the account position updates. There is not a way to change the position through code other than an order execution changing the position.

It might an issue of when you are printing the PositionAccount.MarketPosition.

Below is a link to a video demonstrating.
