GetUnrealizedProfitLoss

[cassb]

Can you just let me know how the Positions[0].GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit.Ticks) is calculated? Does it use the Close[0] to calculate the unrealized value, or does it use the bid/ask? That would make a difference in a scalping program.

Thanks!

Hello cassb,

Thank you for your note.

In control panel, under Tools>Options>Trading tab, with Use Last price for PL unchecked, GetUnrealizedProfitLoss is going to be based off the bid or ask depending on whether you are long or short. Bid if long and ask if short.

I have attached the script I used to test as well as screen shots showing this.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

That's what I needed to know... couldn't find it! :-)

Thanks!
