There is no method to access the actual fill information of a specific order. At this time, what can be done is check the Position properties such as:

Position.AvgPrice
Position.MarketPosition
Position.Quantity

This will return values based on the strategies total position regardless of signal names. We already have on our list to enhance this by providing a future method(s) to access positions tagged by an entry order signal name.

Hi Ray, I was wondering about having both long and short positions--but not always together! :-) I was wondering what the Position object is supposed to represent, but I guess this post answers my question, and is consistent with the documentation on Positions, which states that "This property should only be used when your strategy is executing orders against multiple instruments."

As silly as it sounds, I am currently thinking about keeping both a long and a short position open on the same instrument while I am in the middle of reversing my position.

Do you have any further thoughts on the subject?

"Position" and "Positions" are a little different. "Positions" is used to help you determine your position on multiple instruments (if you have a multi-instrument strategy). "Position" informs you of your position of the current instrument being processed.
