Please change the NinjaScript layer's Position object.

At the very least it should work off the Cbi.Position data.

At the moment things are far from robust.

I am not wishing here to understand the position concept:

I am stating my belief that account position and strategy position must equate in the real world of trading. If they do not equate, then a trader cannot fully automate strategies. There is no room for confusion there.

Not sure where you see room for confusion. As I stated in the other thread you opened on that issue NT provides clear options on how to sync a strategy (virtual) position with a real account position.

Your definition of "clear options" and mine are "clearly" different

Strategy.Position = Position managed by strategy (virtual position)
Account.Position = Position managed by account (true position)

You need both.

Scenario "A" - User wantsto trade manually via the SuperDOM in the ES and run a strategy on ES. At any time, he could be long 5 manually and long 2 in his automated strategy.

In this case:

Strategy.Position = Long 2
Account.Position = Long 7

They need to be managed separately. This is the logic.
