atmStrategy not cancelled

[ATI user]

My strategy entered a trade and updated unrealizedPnL properly.

I cancelled the strategy from the Strategies tab. I know I cancelled the right strategy as it showed the same unrealizedPnL in the Strategies tab as in the chart. The Positions tab showed I was flat. The Strategies tab showed Realized for the trade and Unrealized as 0 as it does for a closed strategy.

The chart however is still updating unrealizedPnL. How can this be? My cs checks the atmStrategyID to see if it is closed. Somehow it is getting data saying the position is still open.

There are no errors in the Log.

Under what conditions can this occur?

Thanks.

Asking the question another way....

I am using this code to close the position:

if ( atmStrategyIdBreak.Length > 0 && GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyIdBreak) != Cbi.MarketPosition.Flat )
AtmStrategyClose(atmStrategyIdBreak);

How can this code then return a working position:

GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyIdBreak)

Should NT not retire/cancel that atmStrategyID?

No, the ATM object still exists and could hold a virtual position.

Example:

Go long in ATM (Entry execution exists internal to the strategy)
Terminate the ATM strategy (assuming that no exit execution made it into this object)
This object will still be long 1 even if terminated.

thanks Ray

Is there a better way then to close the position?

I tried adding:
atmStrategyIdBreak = string.Empty;

This stops the unrealizedPnL updates...however does not terminate the strategy.

I need code that not just closes the position but also terminates the strategy so that when I use get... it returns closed just as though an exit execution made it to the object.

This is key to what I am doing.

Any solutions within NT?

Off the top of my head nothing comes to my mind. You really would have to take the supported methods and check them out to see what options you may have...Ultimately, that's what I would have to do.

I have coded around the problem...still...it seems to me the Close statement is pretty limited....i.e. what is the point in closing a position without closing the originating strategy

Some people may have some use for the ATM strategy for maintaining some routines or what not after they "close" their positions.
