I want to store some informatio in the var1 custom variable in the OnNewPosition event and to be able to retrieve it later (e.g. in the OnClosePosition event).
I this possible ? How to do this ?

Yes it is.

You can create a dictionary or hastable in the "Global" event. In the OnNewPosition you could store the symbol name and the variable to save.
Example:
dic.Add(NewPosition.Symbol, 10);

And in the OnClosePosition, something like this:
string symbol = Functions.GetPositionDetails().Symbol;
object var1 = dic[symbol];
dic.Remove(symbol);

Thanks. I was more referring to the predefined properties var1, var2, etc. of the class MMPosition.
Is it possible to update those fields in the OnNewPosition and retrieve the values in the OnEndPeriod or OnClosePosition event ?
Your solution is workable, but using the predefined custom variables seems easier (if it works...).

This is not possible. These variables are not available in the OnNewPosition event.
Thank you.
