Problems with NG (only)

[Jeremytang]

For some reason I am having issues with Natural Gas (NG), and no other instrument has this problem:

I have this problem using the SampleMAStrategy.

When I start a strategy with a chart, and it takes a position, the strategy executes the position, but doesn't update the position. It's like it's out of sync.

Finally when it comes to flipping the position, it merely closes it, and doesn't flip sides.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. How do I fix this instrument?

Hello,

Sounds like you are in fact out of sync with your strategy position and your account position.

If this is a sim101 account please reset the sim101 account.


Resetting a simulation account will clear all historical trade data from this account. Please follow the instructions below to reset a simulation account.
From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Options
Select the "Simulator" tab
Press the "Reset" button

Then please fully read and understand this information.

From what you describe it looks like your account position and the strategy position is not in sync.
Strategy Position vs. Account Position:

1st solution:
You can include the following statement in your code to avoid the strategy to be calculated on historical data.
// Only run on real-time data
if (Historical)
return;
Add the statement to the top of OnBarUpdate()
2nd solution:
You can set 'On starting a real-time strategy' to 'Wait until flat before executing live'.
This option can be found at Tools-->Options-->Strategies-->NinjaScript-tab.
3rd solution, would be submitting manual orders to sync the strategy and account positions described in the link


Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Brett, unfortunately this isn't a sim101 account, it's a live one. How do I reset that?

Jeremy,

You will need to check on your brokerage account what that position is and submit the necessary actions to close/however you wish to handle that position with. Then in NT add an execution to offset it to get things back in sync. You can add executions in the Executions tab of the Control Center by right clicking.

Hi Josh, I reset the instruments and restarted, and that seemed to work.
