FindOpenPosition-Object-Reference-error

Thanks Cone!
Compiler is showing the same error for the following code. Do you know a solution ?

CODE:

 Position foundPosition0 = FindOpenPosition(0);

double entryPrice;         
foundPosition0.EntryPrice  = entryPrice;

double profitTargetPosition1 = 2;
_transaction.AutoProfitTargetPrice = foundPosition0.EntryPrice + profitTargetPosition1 ;

CODE:
Position foundPosition0 = FindOpenPosition(0);
if(foundPosition0 != null)
{
double entryPrice;         
...
}

Crash - my suggestion is for you to increase your knowledge of the C# language and development in general. Then, you may easily recognize solutions to the problems you noted.

// foundPosition0.EntryPrice
These lines are not working. Method foundPosition0.EntryPrice is returning null and can not use it. Is there a solution to fix it

CODE:

//These lines are not working:
//transaction.AutoProfitTargetPrice = foundPosition0.EntryPrice + 0.02;
//transaction.AutoProfitTargetPrice = (foundPosition0.EntryPrice - 0.03 * (foundPosition0.Bars.SymbolInfo?.PointValue ?? 1)) ;
//   _transaction = PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Sell, OrderType.Limit, bars.AveragePriceOHLC[idx] + 0.03, 0, "Place Sell Limit (1)");

I believe the solution is to do what I suggested - increase your knowledge of C# and development. The solution to these types of questions are fairly obvious to a developer with just some experience. You do understand that if foundPosition0 is null then that's it - its null. You never requery for its value. Its not going to magically have a value in it if just because you called PlaceTrade. To me, that shows it would be advantageous to you to improve your knowledge of C# and development.
