Is PositionData.PositionQuantity available in Replay Mode?

Within a study I'm writing, I have this code that gets updated every bar (using BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED): s_SCPositionData positionData; sc.GetTradePosition(positionData); int positionSize = positionData.PositionQuantity; I'm running the study on a chart in replay mode. Is PositionQuantity supposed to be populated? I think the answer is no, because only the positions that show up on the "Trade >> Trade Positions Window" will get pulled in using `sc.GetTradePosition()`. But I wanted to ask as a sanity check. |

Yes, it works in SIM mode too. If it is in the Trade Position Window, then it will be counted. Remember it is only for the account/symbol of the chart.

Thanks for the help, bradh. Here's some context that I left out which was critical: I was using the "Jump >> To Next Bar" functionality. It seems like when jumping around, the PositionQuantity, AveragePrice and some other properties on an s_SCPositionData object don't get set. When I run the Replay without jumping, the s_SCPositionData gets populated. So, user ignorance on my part. <insert Implications meme> |
