determine if the last closed trade was short or long [SOLVED]

hairyMug · Postby **hairyMug** » 29 Sep 2014

in V9, I'm trying to determine if the last closed trade was short or long. To get the last position, would I reference the "0" index or the "Count-1" index. Same question for the "ClosedTrades". (BTW: debugging never shows any information in the Positon returned from the collection) Here is my code:

Code: Select all

     bool lastLong = false;

			bool lastShort = false;			

			try

			{

			int lastPos=0;

			int lastTrade=0;

			lastLong=lastPos>=0

				&& Positions[lastPos].ClosedTrades[lastTrade].IsLong 

				&& !Positions[lastPos].ClosedTrades[lastTrade].IsOpen;

			

			lastShort=lastPos>=0 

				&& !Positions[lastPos].ClosedTrades[lastTrade].IsLong

				&& !Positions[lastPos].ClosedTrades[lastTrade].IsOpen;

			}

			catch{}

Hello hairyMug,

0 - open position;
1 - one position back (the last position closed);
2 - two positions back, etc.

Here is a sample code:

Code: Select all

int _DirectionClosedTrades = -1;

        int _idx = 1;



        if (Positions.Count > _idx && Positions[_idx].ClosedTrades.Count > 0)

        {

          IMarketPosition _lastPos = Positions[_idx];



          if (_lastPos.ClosedTrades[0].IsLong)

            _DirectionClosedTrades = 1;

          else

            _DirectionClosedTrades = 2;

          Output.WriteLine("_DirectionClosedTrades = {0}, dateTime: {1}", _DirectionClosedTrades, _lastPos.ClosedTrades[0].ExitOrder.Time);

        }
