Returns a numerical value, indicating the type of the specified position.

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.

Where: [[PosBack]] - a numerical expression, specifying the position:

0 - open position;

1 - one position back (the last position closed);

2 - two positions back, etc.

If [[PosBack]] is not specified, a value for the open position will be returned.

==== Notes ====
This function can only be used in signals.

==== Example ====
<syntaxhighlight>MarketPosition will return a value of 0 if the current position is flat

MarketPosition (1) will return a value of -1 if the most recently closed position was a shortposition</syntaxhighlight>
