[Tradewinds 12]

There is a way to retrieve the quantity and side of the position open. The symbol must be designated, as you could have multiple positions open with different ticker symbols.

 

GetPositionQuantity(GetSymbolName, GetAccountID)

 

Short Positions are designated by a negative number. This code displays the quantity open on the chart.

 

var: QtyOpen(0);

Once 
begin  
Value1 = Text_new( D, T, H, "x");
end;

QtyOpen = GetPositionQuantity(GetSymbolName, GetAccountID);

Text_SetString(Value1, "       Positions: " + NumToStr(QtyOpen,0));
Text_SetLocation(Value1, D, T, H + 0.02 );
Text_setcolor(Value1, Black);

Determining the Quantity Open is important to be able to close a position from code. You need to designate how many of the position to close.

 

If HigherHigh and QtyOpen > 0 then begin
value1 = MarketOrder("OncePerBar", GetAccountID(), "Sell", "Future", GetSymbolName, QtyOpen);
Condition1 = (PlaySound("c:\Wave\CloseLong.wav"));
End;
