Unrealized without position

[add000]

Why when I start strategy I have unrealized profit or loss but I have no position? And strategy don't work until exit order will executed. But again I don't see this exit order anywhere I only see that unrealised profit or loss stayed realised. After this strategy work normal.
How I can set my strategy that it will work from beginning after start?

Please try adding:

if (Historical)
 return:

... to your OnBarUpdate method.

In which place I must add code.


protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
return;
.....

The same work after adding code.
Don't work normal.

I am jumping in late but maybe there is some confusion about what is expected.

Can you review this thread and see if this might clear things up?

OK I understand now how it must work.
But it not work how Josh wrote.
For example:
I can't close strategy position by account position. And if I open same position in account position manually strategy don't close this position, it close self position but not my (account position).

What can I do that strategy work normal?

Not sure I follow.

- If you start a strategy and it is long 1
- If your account is flat you can manually add 1 long to your account in Control Center Orders tab
- If your strategy now sells 1 so that it is flat --> Your account will not be flat

[add000]

Yes.

- I manually add 1 long.
- Strategy sells 1 so that it is flat
- But I have 1 long in my account positions.

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Could be several things -

- Strategy is not running on the same account that you opened a position on
- Check Tools > Options > Strategies > NinjaScript, ensure that "Immediately submit..." is checked and NOT "Wait until flat..."

[add000]

Yes, it was "Wait until flat...".

But

I need that after start my strategy will work without "...determine the current position state it would be in if it had been running live since the start of the session".
When I start strategy I start my session and I don't need open position. I think so.

In any case Thanks very much for your help
