Positions.Count ?!?

//EDIT:

The above gives an Operand error.

I also tried with

var shortPositionsCount = Positions.Count(p => p.TradeType == TradeType.Sell);
var longPositionsCount = Positions.Count(p => p.TradeType == TradeType.Buy);

This compiles, but in backtesting no orders are entred. at all.

//EDIT2:

of course I have

Parameter("Long Trades", DefaultValue = 2, MinValue = 0)]
public int MaxLongTrades { get; set; }

It was a typo in the opening post.

Now I tried

var longPositionsCount = Positions.Count;

It works, but it Counts ALL trades, even closed ones.

So after 5 Trades, my cBot stops.

Looks like it is working. Thank you VERY VERY much. Now on to my next Problem :o)

var longPosition = Positions.FindAll(Label, Symbol, TradeType.Buy);

This variable holds array of all positions found.

longPosition.Length returns you number of items in the array.

Personally I would use LINQ query.

int numberOfLongPositions = Positions.Where(pos => pos.Label == Label)
                                     .Where(pos => pos.Symbol == Symbol)
                                     .Where(pos => pos.TradeType == TradeType.Buy)
                                     .Count();

int numberOfShortPositions = Positions.Where(pos => pos.Label == Label)
                                      .Where(pos => pos.Symbol == Symbol)
                                      .Where(pos => pos.TradeType == TradeType.Sell)
                                      .Count();
