When using the GetOrderByOrderID , in an ACSIL function, there seems to be no way to see if it is a short position.
Is there another way to determine if the curent position is a short position?

From documentation:


[Type: integer] PositionQuantity

The quantity of the current Trade Position as shown on Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions window. A positive quantity represents a Long position and a negative quantity represents a Short position.
