notify_trade()

[blonc]

I believe this has already been answered in the following post:

notify_trade-not-firing

But I just wanna confirm before I go writing new code.

notify_trade() is only called on the complete closing of a position, so if you have a strategy that for example buys XYZ stock once, but closes it over multiple signals, the notify_trade() will not be called till the last share of XYZ is sold?

notify_trade is called:

• When a trade is started
• When a trade is closed

You know you are closing it, but the platform cannot know it. A Trade may go down from having a size of 50 units to 1. Is that closing? No. Because it may go again up to 100.
