i am still trying to understand teh connection between strategy and chart trading.
if i create posisitons from the chart trader, can i manage the trade from the strategies.
i was doing simple things like
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{

Print("Open PnL: " + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Points));

and there was Open PnL:0 printed on the alerts even though the chart window was saying 3 pips profit.

appreciate any help here.

NinjaScript strategies do not communicate with manual Chart Trader trades.
