Yes, the code
current_price = self.algorithm.Securities[symbol].Price
will get the latest price of the security. Theself.Securities[symbol].Price
is automatically set and represents the most recent price of the security.However, please note that the
Price
property of a security object represents the latest price, which could be the trade bar's closing price or the latest tick price, depending on the resolution of your data.Here is an example of how you can use it:
In this example,
current_price
will hold the latest price for the "SPY" security.Sources:
