I think I'm making a mistake in my use of this:


s_SCPositionData pd;
if(sc.GetTradePosition(pd) == 1 && pd.PositionQuantity != 0)
inTrade = 1;

SC 1086, Interactive Brokers HSI-201402-HKFE

Under chart settings the symbol is set to HSI-201402-HKFE lthough there is no Trade and Current Quote Symbol.

It works fine in replay (sim) mode but in live trading it returns zero so it never recognizes that its in a trade. I use manual looping only. Can you please advise what I should do differently?

For safety, this should be written as:
sc.GetTradePosition(pd) >0

Do you see a nonzero position for HSI-201402-HKFE in Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions, during live trading for that symbol?

You also need to make sure that sc.SendOrdersToTradeService is set to 1.
