Positions.Count is returning 0 inside Positions_Opened()
24 Aug 2024, 17:38

Dear cTrader Team,

I've noticed that Positions.Count is returning 0 inside Positions_Opened().
I've added some screenshots for your reference, as well as the cBot code, hoping you're able to reproduce this issue.

Should you require any additional information please let me know.

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class MarginTest : Robot
    {
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Positions.Opened += Positions_Opened;
            Positions.Closed += Positions_Closed;

            Print("Symbol leverage : ", Symbol.DynamicLeverage[0].Leverage);
            Print("Account leverage : ", Account.PreciseLeverage);
            Print("Symbol currency : ", Symbol.QuoteAsset);
            Print("Account currency : ", Account.Asset);
            Print("Symbol pip size : ", Symbol.PipSize);

            PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(1), Symbol.Ask - 300, null, 1500 * Symbol.PipSize, 1500 * Symbol.PipSize);
            PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(1), Symbol.Ask - 600, null, 1500 * Symbol.PipSize, 1500 * Symbol.PipSize);
        }

        private void Positions_Opened(PositionOpenedEventArgs obj)
        {
            Print("**************** Positions_Opened ****************");
            Print("Amount of open positions : ", Positions.Count);

            double tradesTotalSize = 0;
            double accountMargin;

            foreach (var position in Positions)
                tradesTotalSize += position.VolumeInUnits * position.EntryPrice;

            accountMargin = tradesTotalSize / Symbol.DynamicLeverage[0].Leverage;

            Print("Calculated account margin : {0:0.00}", accountMargin);
            Print("Account.Margin : ", Account.Margin);

            Print("Error (%) : {0:0.0}", 100 * (1 - Account.Margin / accountMargin));
        }

        private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs obj)
        {
            if (PendingOrders.Count == 0 && Positions.Count == 0)
                Stop();
        }
    }
}

Panagiotis,

Can you please check this under the same conditions (broker, symbol, etc) ?

This way you'll be (obviously) more likely to be able to reproduce the issue.

Remark: It has been already noticed in the past that many issues that applied to indices were not applicable to forex.

Thanks.

We did but with no luck unfortunately. We will keep it in mind though in case we stumble upon it in any other occasion

Panagiotis,

I really don't understand how you're not able to reproduce this issue.

Try the following backtest settings and let me know.
Using the exact same cBot code and backtest settings I can't expect anything else than the same outcome.
