# PositionsAccount

## Definition

Holds an array of **PositionAccount** objects that represent positions managed by the strategy's account. This property should only be used when your strategy is executing orders against **multiple instruments**.

Index value is based on the array of Bars objects added via the **AddDataSeries()** method. For example:

First Bars is ES 1 Minute\
Secondary Bars is ES 5 Minute\
Third Bars is NQ 5 Minute

**PositionsAccount\[0]** == ES position\
**PositionsAccount\[1]** == Always a flat position, ES position will always be **PositionsAccount\[0]**\
**PositionsAccount\[2]** == NQ position

Tips:

* For single instrument scripts, please see **PositionAccount** object
* For Strategy Positions, please see **Positions**

## Property Value

An array of **PositionAccount** objects.

## Syntax

`PositionsAccount[int index]`

## Examples

```csharp
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
   if (State == State.SetDefaults)
   {            
     Name = "ExampleStrategy";
   
   }
      
   else if (State == State.Configure)
   {
     AddDataSeries("ES 03-15", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
     AddDataSeries("NQ 03-15", BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
   }
}   

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     Print("ES account position is " + PositionsAccount[0].MarketPosition);
     Print("NQ account position is " + PositionsAccount[2].MarketPosition);
 
     // Alternative approach. By checking what Bars object is calling the OnBarUpdate()
     // method, we can just use the Position property since its pointing to the correct
     // position.
     if (BarsInProgress == 0)
         Print("ES account position is " + PositionAccount.MarketPosition);
     else if (BarsInProgress == 2)
         Print("NQ account position is " + PositionAccount.MarketPosition);
}
```
