Hi there, as far as I know there is not such a function, but I may be
wrong. To get the current position, use your own formulae, the ones
you use to enter & exit long and short. It is easiest if you have
just one formula for all of them, say a moving average crossover like
C>Mov(C,10,S) or cross(C,Mov(C,10,S))
enters long and
C<=Mov(C,10,S) or cross(Mov(C,10,S),C)
enters short
Then this formula
C - Mov(C,10,S)
gives you your current position.
