A zero ('0') is returned when the current position is flat, or if Automated Trading is not turned on.
==== Usage ====
<syntaxhighlight>i_MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy</syntaxhighlight>
==== Notes ==== * This function can only be used in indicators. Use [[MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy]] for signals and functions. * This function differs from the [[MarketPosition]] keyword in that it cannot take an argument to reference past values. By saving the value of i_MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy to a Numeric [[Variable]], it's possible to reference the position at the broker for previous bars or tick.
