Best way to reset a strategy initiated position

[raffu]

What is the right way to close the position outside strategy which has been initiated by strategy.

I had a strategy running which took a position. I closed it outside from strategy (via SuperDOM) and now restart will initiate Yellow screen, (as it thinks that there is a position) If I switch tab to "Immediately submit live working historical order" it will enter and think that there is a position.

"Strategies window" shows a position and avg position but how to reset that as there are none. (only one leading trail running or initiated but if this will be canceled, no effect)


NT 7 (so this will keep track)

(luckily not a live account)

Hello raffu,

Unfortunatley there's no way to state a strategies position. This is created based on the signals of the strategy, run against historical data.

One approach you may consider is to only the strategy on real-time data. You can do this with this line:

if (Historical) return;

This tells it to stop all historical processing, so there will be a flat state when you start the strategy.

Ok,
so the most likely is that strategy will "close" the position at the end of the day as it should (actually some minutes before ending) but I don't want it to initiate position to other direction at that time. Let see ("Yellow" mode will do that if I have undersood that correctly..)

Hello raffu,

It depends on settings used and strategy position at the time. This page is good for detailing potential outcomes here:

Yellow means that it is waiting for the strategy position to reach a flat state before it will submit orders.

Thanls,

Wait until flat before executing live, Sync account position = false

clarified the situation, could be set at start of the strategy...

Where is this code placed in the strategy?

Before the execution criteria IF statement? Or is it included with the && prefix.

Thanks... from a C&P coder

Hello,

This is placed right at the top inside OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
return;
}
