Aggregated view average entry price (which includes commissions) is different to coded version (which doesn't include commissions)

Hello,

the Position window in "aggregated view" shows Average entry price for a symbol - and this seems to include the cost of commissions both ways.

However when I use the following code:

double AverageEntry = Positions.Where(x => x.SymbolName == Symbol.Name).Average(i => i.EntryPrice); 

this price does not include the cost of commissions.

How do I get the Average entry price that displays in the aggregated view for a particular symbol?

Thanks, Leon

As far as I know it does not

Ok, well is there a simple way to calculate the Breakeven price for a position accounting for in and out commissions?  Or the same for a group of positions within a symbol?

Hi there,

I do not have a ready code to share but you can use Symbol.Commission and Symbol.CommissionType alongside with some math to calculate this
