Read Engine State
Exposes an available read-only engine value as data.
Exposes an available read-only engine value as data.
When to use
Use it when strategy logic needs supported current execution context without maintaining a separate variable.
Example
Read an available account or execution-state value and feed it to a comparison.
Observe without changing state
Choose a supported path such as $engine.portfolio.equity and connect its Value output to a compatible comparison. If an illustrative run starts with equity 10,000 and a later state reports 9,500, a separate Expression can calculate the change, provided it receives both values from valid sources. Read Engine State supplies a snapshot value from the current execution context; it does not set equity, guarantee that every path is available, or create a market event. Confirm the selected path, type and unit before comparing it with a literal threshold.
Common problems
Only the values offered by the node are supported. The state is read-only, and this node does not continue control flow.
