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.

Please see here to understand the position concept: http://ninjatrader.mywowbb.com/view_..._to=8516#p8516

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.
