How can I associate a field (value) to a trade in a MM script?

Hi, I am looking-up dividends that occurred during a trade and I want to associate it with the correct position so I can use it later in calculations in OnEndSimulation. I tried Adding the dividend in an ArrayList, assuming that MMPosition[] pos = Portfolio.GetAllPositions() will be stored in the same order as the OnClosePosition was executed. It is not working. In fact I can't see how the order of trades closed on the same bar using Portfolio.GetAllPositions() is determined. Can you help me figure this out?

How are you looking for dividends? How are you storing dividends in the ArrayList?

You can forget about this question-- I figured it out. I'm using a call to the custom dividend database. I was storing the dividends in an ArrayList for later processing. Instead I just added a trade metric from within OnEndPeriod which associated it correctly.
