It is confusing me. I test on other pair, then I found the postions' number is in right order this time. However when I test the AUD/CAD again, the problem still occur.

do anyone know what the problem might be? Does the problem take place randomly?

Include also the Symbol of the Positions[index] to see better what you're looking for.
Since you'are not filtering the positions for a specific symbol it's possible that there are positions belonging to other instruments which you are not aware of.

Dear moneybiz :

thank you for your replying, but I don't think the Symbol is the problem. As you can see I only opened 4 positions in total and they are all the same AUD/CAD pairs.

the problem is how could a third position become the first position?

I saw the 2nd image where there were EURUSD positions, for this I thought that you're not filtering them properly.
Anyway, I didn't test if index matches the entry time of the position but if that's really the case just order the positions by entry time to get what you want:

var positions = Positions.OrderBy(p => p.EntryTime).ToArray();

Dear moneybiz:

Thanks for your replying again. Your way and code does work pefectly. I can adjust my code according to the EntryTime.

But I also want the cTDN technical staff to check whether there is a random bug or not inside the position[index]. If there is hope they can fix the problem, otherwise might cause a disaster in real live trading to those traders who using position[index] for coding.

thanks again
