== Usage == | |||
<syntaxhighlight>CurrentContracts</syntaxhighlight> | |||
== Notes == | |||
* This function can only be used in signals. | |||
* To use the CurrentContracts or [[CurrentShares]] in an indicator, see [[i_CurrentContracts]] and [[i_CurrentShares]] respectively. | |||
== Example == | |||
<syntaxhighlight>CurrentContracts</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Will return a value of "1" if the strategy is long 1 contract or share. | |||
<syntaxhighlight>CurrentContracts</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Will return a value of "5" for 5 shares short. | |||
CurrentContracts returns an absolute value for both long and short positions. Multiply it with the [[MarketPosition]] to get the negative sign for short positions. For example: | |||
<syntaxhighlight>MarketPosition(0) * CurrentContracts</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Will return a value of "-9" if the strategy is short 9 contracts, and will return a value of "4" if the strategy is long four contracts. | |||
