To Synch or Not To Synch

[visounds]

Hi Guys,

I have a strategy that holds over days some times. What is the best advice to make sure the strategy and NT settings in general are set to to make sure Synching works best in the case of shut downs etc.

Greatly appreciate any assistance.

Hello,

This would depend on what you want to behave and what you consider the best scenario.

For example, if you want your strategy to immediately start working and sync with your account position, you would use "Immediately submit live working historical orders, Sync account position = true"

However, there are some considerations you need to take when using these options

Please be aware that these options will only help you sync your Account Position to your Strategy Position once on startup. These options will not guarantee your Account Position remains in sync afterwards. Any active orders you may have had on your account prior to strategy start that was not generated by your strategy would not have been cancelled on start and can lead to your Account Position being out of sync from your Strategy Position. Placing manual trades or running multiple strategies on the same instrument can also lead to your Account Position being out of sync from your Strategy Position.
