NT Strategy places Orders in the past

[Obi]

Hello,

I have configured NT strategy to wait until flat before issuing live orders (as suggested in the guide and forum).
However, several times after adding a strategy on a chart, the strategy is straight-away X amount of dollars in profit/loss. Looking at the chart reveals that a trade has been opened several bars in the past!!!

This happens on a "fresh" chart, no other strategy, nor existing/remaining open orders available.

Please help.

Cheers,
Obi

Obi,

What you are seeing is the virtual strategy position. For sure it will load historical bars and calculate out what kind of position it thinks it should be in. If you look in the Positions tab of your Control Center it will be blank. Reflective of a flat account position.
