Position ClosingTime

Dear Trader,

An open position doesn’t have a closing time therefore we do not provide ClosingTime. Once the position is closed it will be removed from the Positions list. In the History tab it is available because it shows the time that a position was closed. The following code snippet shows how to retrieve the closing time of a closed position, which is considered a historical trade:

            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000, "mylabel");

            ClosePosition(Positions.Find("mylabel"));

            HistoricalTrade hist = History.FindLast("mylabel");

            Print("Position closed at: ", hist.ClosingTime.ToString());

We hope this helps you.

RE:

I keep getting this error: Crashed in OnTick with NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. My question for reference: /forum/cbot-support/11446

Am I missing something? My code is similar to yours and I even replaced it, but I'm getting the same error. What commonly causes this?

Rearrange your code

Try to rearrange your code within "OnTick()" if that is where your code is located that causes the specific error. Sometimes by moving a code to another section of the execution script will help to solve a problem like this.
