Position.MarketPosition across multiple instruments

[shodson]

I have a strategy that I want to simultaneously run on multiple instruments (6E, 6B, 6A, etc). Before entering a trade I want to make sure I'm not already in a trade. I usually do a Position.MarketPosition != Long/Short check. However, I only want to make sure I'm flat on a given instrument, but if I'm long or short on another instrument I still want to get in. For example, if I'm already long on the 6E and I get a signal to go short or long on the 6B, I want to be able to, but if I'm already in a position on the 6B I want ti avoid the signal. So how do I check my market position on a given instrument instead of my entire account?

The link you gave me is an example how to manage positions in multiple instruments in 1 strategy.

I want to run multiple strategies, each one on a different instrument, so instead of checking Positions[] I want to check to see if I have a position on a specific instrument, which may be managed inside of another strategy.

Hello,

Strategies don't/can't communicate between each other and I believe each marketposition is specific for each strategy and instrument. So what you are trying to do is likely not possible, but I'll have someone double check this on Monday to be sure I am correct.

I'm not trying to communicate intra-strategy, I just want to know if I'm long or short in the instrument I'm trading, not if I have a long or short position on any instrument.

shodson,

Unfortunately account level positions is not available from a NinjaScript. You can only access information in relation to the particular instance of the strategy. There is no information across multiple strategies and aggregating a position off of that.
