Order from strategy are not executed

[sharkie]

I am activating a strategy on the Gain simulation account. In the strategy tab I can see indication for opened positions with unrealized P&L . In the order tab I mostly see initialized order and not filled. The execution and positions tabs remain empty. Is this expected behavior ?

Hello sharkie,

Could it be your strategy did not trigger any orders yet or are the 'Initialized' orders generated by your strategy?

If the strategy did not trigger any orders yet, your strategy is in a strategy position but you are not in an account position. Please see the link below for more information.

This would explain the difference between the Strategy-tab and the Executions & Position tabs.

From the link you attached it seems I need to manually execute each and every trade,that doesn't make sense. I didn't understand how can I make the strategy to automatically execute into my accout (Sim101).

Not sure why you state you need to manually execute each and every trade; this is not correct. You can submit a manual order to synch the strategy and account position if that is what you refer to.

In addition, instructions to run automated strategies can be found at the following links.
