Notes

Strategy.isLong() returns true if a long position is currently being held. This method is a logic function used to control back testing logic within conditional statements. For example, a user may want to check to see if the strategy is currently in a long position before evaluating a long exit condition.

Code Examples

function main()  {
	if (Strategy.isLong() == true) {
	    // Evaluate long exit condition	
	    if (/* Your Exit Condition */) {
	        //Strategy.doSell(...);	
	        }	
	    
	} 
}
