Strategy Tab Question

[texasnomad]

I'm running a strategy on an NT7 demo account. When I load it onto the strategies tab, it turns yellow. I understand this to mean that I have an open position which conflicts with the strategy.

The data feed is coming from my live MB Trading account. The demo account shows no open positions under the positions tab. Is the live trading, which does have open trades, affecting the status of my demo trading strategy? If not, how do I get the yellow to go away?

Hello texasnomad,

The yellow highlighting means that there is a current strategy position, which is not connected in any way to an account position. It's the position that's generated when the strategy is run on historical data. Background on this is available here:

If it highlights yellow, the strategy won't accept an entry signal until it reaches a flat state.

One way you can get around this, is to start the strategy always in a flat position. This is done by returning out during any historical bars. if (Historical) return;
