Help please

Postby andrea71 » 17 Sep 2012

Hi falks,
i need some help please.
I am trying to build a strategy using parabolic sar ( don’t lought I know it’s hard ) but I am encountering a problem. I am not able to make the system recognize the last position. For example if the system goes long and the position enter long how can I tell the system to do not enter any other order short until the current position its been close either in stop or at target ?

Thank you in advance to anyone it will halp me
Andrea

Hello Andrea71,

MarketPosition returns a numerical value, indicating the type of the specified position (open position, one/two positions back, etc.).

A value of 1 indicates a long position, -1 indicates a short position, and 0 is returned only if the current position is specified and indicates that the current position is flat.
