Strategy is Yellow?

[timmbbo]

What does it mean when Strategies, are implemented, are yellow?

When I sim trade these strategies, replaying tick-by-tick, they run as green, and run as no problem. However, when I trade them against my account in real time, then this issue appears, What does it mean?

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

Yellow status indicates the strategy has not yet completed a historical trade (a trade made before live data). Once the trade completes (according to your coding logic) the status would change to green and live trades would then occur.

You may not have observed this in market replay.

According to the helpguide:

Green highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates a currently running strategy.
Yellow highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates the strategy is waiting until it reaches a flat position to be in sync with the account position before fully starting.
White highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates a disabled strategy.
