Have you been reading the documentation? If you just scan the Trade Functions you can quickly see the answer:

• PositionGetSymbol()

Or if you already have a ticket number selected, then use PositionGetString() with POSITION_SYMBOL.

i must have missed it but i had only tried the POSITION_SYMBOL without first getting the ticket number and it kept returning the implicit conversion from number to string error. Thanks it has worked now.

Can you share the portion of the code that is now working that you had trouble with?
