I want to retrieve my current position, how many contracts I have going long, short, or if its flat. To test this out, I'm trying to get that value, and put it into the message log to be sure that the returned values are what I intend. I'm having some trouble with this code, yet I thought I did it correctly. Where did I go wrong?

I've uploaded an image to this message to show you whats going on in VS.

Thanks

That function no longer exists.

This is the current one:

Where did you see the older one being used?

Thanks. So, is this the proper way to do it with the new code?:

  s_SCPositionData PositionData;
  int Result = sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData);
  int PositionStatus = PositionData.PositionQuantity;

  SCString BufferOne;
  BufferOne.Format("Current Position is: %i", PositionStatus);
  sc.AddMessageToLog(BufferOne, 0);


And to answer your question, this was the first thing that popped up when I was googling for an answer:
