Hi swingfish,

You can easily calculate this information. For example

Positions.Average(x => x.Pips);

Note that you need to add a reference to System.Linq to your indicator

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;

Best Regards,

thanks for the reply, for some reason cTrader 3.0 and 3.01 do not have the Positions.Average call 

i use this now to calculate the average price (but as i said before, its not very accurate)

the goal is to plot a average line on the chart based on entries/volume .. like a breakeven-line so to speak

            // breakeven line
            ie = 0;
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                if (position.SymbolCode == Symbol.Code)
                {
                    ie++;
                    ev = position.Volume;
                    tv += ev;
                    if (position.TradeType == TradeType.Sell)
                        ev = ev * -1;
                    e = e + position.EntryPrice * ev;
                    v = v + ev;

                    if (position.EntryPrice >= epmx)
                    {
                        epmx = position.EntryPrice;
                    }

                    if (position.EntryPrice <= epmn)
                    {
                        epmn = position.EntryPrice;
                    }
                }
            }

            p = e / v;
            if (ie > 0)
            {
                ChartObjects.DrawLine("brline", index - 5, p, index + 10, p, Colors.LimeGreen);
            }
            else
            {
                ChartObjects.RemoveObject("brline");
            }

Hi swingfish,

"thanks for the reply, for some reason cTrader 3.0 and 3.01 do not have the Positions.Average call ". 

This is not part of cTrader but of .Net. As i said you need to use System.Linq library.

Best Regards,
