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