 var koopn = new MarketOrderRequest(TradeType.Buy, lots);
 koopn.SlippagePips = 1;
 koopn.Label = _LABEL;
 Trade.Send(koopn);

After the example above, i would like to get the object of this trade as a Position, if the marketorderrequest is executed. Is there a shortcut?

Like:

Position pos = koopn...

 

private Position pos_koopn;
...
protected override void OnPositionOpened(Position openedPosition)
        {
          if(openedPosition.Label == _LABEL)   
            pos_koopn = openedPosition;
        }

What you described here is synchronous API - your code need to wait until position is open. Currently cAlgo supports only asynchronous API so you have to use separate method to handle trade result. Right now we are improving our trading API - in the nearest future you will be able to choose synchronous API as well. In that way your code will look like this:

TradeResult result = ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, lots, _LABEL, null, null, slippagePips: 1);
Position position = result.Position;

Alternative OK

The last alternative suits me well. Thanks
