Sync with existing positions

[Santi]

Hi everybody!

First of all, sorry about my english! ;-)

I´m trying to develope a strategy that only close existing positions... I mean... I´m trading with de DOM, or the Basic Entry, and the strategy closes the position when it reaches a condition (that involves various instruments, so the ATM could not do it), so the strategy doesn´t open any positions, it only works closing existing positions.

Is there any way to sync the strategy, to recognize previous opened positions?

Thanks a lot!

Hello Santi,

Using the managed order system, all exits must be paired with an entry. If you submit an exit and the strategy can't identify an entry opened by the strategy, then the exit statement is ignored.

You can use the unmanaged approach, and with this you just use SubmitOrder() to place the orders you want, without any internal management of the order. There's no way for the strategy to read positions that were opened outside of the strategy.

@Santi,

I have already done what you want to do using managed approach . Basically I attach my strategies LongFollowUp or ShortFollowUp to exiting positions which I entered manually.

Best would be to buy this technolgy from me, but if you are short of funds you can try yourself:

Here some tip :

1. It can be done!
2. Read all my older posts on the topic sync
3. Takes you at least a week if you are proficicient with C# and Ninja.

Good luck

It seems to open a new field to explore... the unmanaged mode. Thanks a lot for your explanations, I hope I will "manage" this issue.

I´m also reading your post about sync, very clarify... it happens to me this week, it was a pity not to read it 5 days ago.

Thanks! ;-)
