Getting updated price with each trade update
-
Hi, how do I get the updated price from trade history when adding to an existing position?
When I open the trade I can get price as trade.price, but if I code it this way:
if trade.isopen: self.avgprice = trade.price #variable that keeps ref of the avg priceIt only acts when a new trade is opened, not when an existing trade is updated.
How do I record the avg price in such a way that self.avgprice gets the value 276.8 when the trade is opened, value 302 when a new buy in that existing trade is made and finally value of 289.475 when adding 3rd time to the same position.

@vypy1 This is solved for me.
Future reference for anyone facing a similar issue, the average price can be fetched from position.price.
