Bot opens positions; stop bot; restart bot; does it pick up previously open positions?

The answer to this question is Positions.Count == 1.

I ran the following test bot code to see what happens. I opened two FOREX positions with two instances of the same bot - one EURUSD and another AUDUSD. 

The first instance opened EURUSD. 

I stopped the bot and restarted with the ExecuteMarketOrder line commented out. It found 1 position.

Then I created a second instance of the bot running against AUDUSD. It opened a position.

I stopped both bots, exited out of cTrader, and then logged back in.

I started both bot instances and both recognized 2 opened positions.

Then I closed all the positions. 

Code below.

Thank you.
