OnTick() gives me penultimate profit/loss
OnTick() gives me penultimate profit/loss

protected override void OnTick(){
Print(Positions[0].NetProfit.ToString());
}
Why do I always get the profit/loss from the penultimate tick and not from the last one?
protected override void OnTick(){
Print(Symbol.Ask.ToString());
}
This gives me the last ask price, as it should be. But why doesn't it work with “netProfit”?

Hello,
If this is really the case it should be considered a bug, in my opinion.
As expected, the bid/ask prices are updated on the spot, and the same should apply to all the methods/properties that directly depend on these prices, which is the case of NetProfit, among many other.
It's very unlikely that anyone will ever expect something different here.

Hi there,
I assume that the process of updating the net profit succeeds the OnTick event handler.

Can you perhaps elaborate on this a little?
On the screenshot you can see that it does not work.
I tried this: (https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/references/EventArgs/TicksTickEventArgs/)
private void Ticks_Tick(TicksTickEventArgs args){
MessageBox.Show(Positions[0].NetProfit.ToString());
}
And this: (https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/references/EventArgs/SymbolTickEventArgs/?h=symboltickeventargs)
private void Ticks_Tick(SymbolTickEventArgs args){
MessageBox.Show(Positions[0].NetProfit.ToString());
}
But I always get the profit of the older price...
