I have discovered that after strategies are enabled and are showing entry/exit points graphically, that connecting to TWS causes the entry/exit graphics to go away. The strategy is still running and I don't think there is anything affected in the strategy, it is just a graphical issue in NT. But I have to re-enable the strategy for NT to wake up and display the entry/exit points again even though all other graphics (the ones I create in the strategy) are intact. I want to be clear here that none of these strategies use IB or TWS data sources or even positions in my IB account. They have nothing to do with TWS connections in any way.
I verified that I can reproduce this repeatedly. I can start with a clean workspace, create a new chart with YB 06-11, 15 min (actually any instrument) and enable any strategy. If I connect to IB via TWS, right when it switches back from TWS after sign-on to NT, it clears the order entry graphics.
I have sent workspace files to Ryan via NT email. I also attached the simple (and bad) strategy that I used to generate lots of trades to display.
