Trading: Position - How do I get my current Average Price?

I have looked everywhere endlessly to try to obtain information on how to get my position data to utilize by referencing in alert conditions. The closest I have gotten is the study "Trading: Position," which contains the "Pos Qty" information, but does not contain the "@Price" data, or otherwise known as the Average Position Price.

I would like to be able to use this in an alert condition as I can with the position quantity.

I have 2 days left on my trial before deciding upon this software and this appears to be my last hurdle. Thanks guys!

You can only access this data by using the Spreadsheet System for Trading study:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading

There is a cell where this value is outputted to on the Sheet.

Or by using ACSIL:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

You cannot do this with simple alerts.

Thank you, I do not want to use the Spreadsheet System.

Could you kindly point me in the direction of the source code for the study "Trading: Position" (image of what I am referring to attached)?

I have searched through the files and have only been able to come up with the source for the other studies, but can't seem to find this one. When I can finally locate this one, I should be able to have everything I need.

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Yeah, I don't know how to do that. I was going to replicate the study by using the source as a template.

Can anyone help me out?

I was looking for the same study
I only need the TEXT showing me what is my average price.

How is called this study?

The study is called "Trading: Position Average Price" but we can see that it was never listed. This will be in the next release.
