Hi,

I just noticed this, not sure started from which version.

I use TradesList[TradeIndex].TradeQuantity to get the total open contracts, it worked great until recently when I try to open a 3-contract position by sending 3 separate orders, TradesList[TradeIndex].TradeQuantity always gave the number 1, not sure why, the Trade Quantity in the Trading Log shows 3.

But if I send one order with 3 contracts, I will get the number 3 from TradesList[TradeIndex].TradeQuantity.

Thanks

Use this function instead:
sc.GetFlatToFlatTradeListEntry

Thanks so much for your reply, also, I just found "sc.GetTradePosition" which is very easy to use and reliable. I will use sc.GetFlatToFlatTradeListEntry to get data of closed trades, and sc.GetTradePosition to get data of open positions.
