Regarding the post in the tips section. What I've found for myself is that I end up putting a PlaceHistorical parameter in my strategies; the global setting for waiting until flat or not is not good enough.
Since there is no history of what strategies have been running, it's up to me to decide whether I have been running the strategy already and whether I have a physical position. If so, I want my PlaceHistorical parameter to be set to 1 so the strategy syncs up with reality.
If I am running a strategy for the first time, and I know I don't have a position but I also don't want it picking up in the middle of a trend, I set this parameter to 0. So in effect it's a per-instance version of NT's global property. (Basically if Historical==true no orders are placed in this case.)
I'm not necessarily saying this is a flaw with NT, just how I am managing this for myself.
