Long Strategy Has Suddenly Been Trading Short This Last Week

[koganam]

so whats the solution? how do I stop this from happening all the time.

I do not know if you would like this hack, but what I did was to create yet another public Boolean property, RealTimeOnly, which enabled the bypass of Historical bars. Whenever my NT gets into that funky state where it is showing a yellow color for the Strategy, and I cannot get the fersluggin' thing to take a trade or not, I just enable the option, so that NT will ignore historical trade positioning and just trade already.

right before my order management block does the trick.

If I want to do analysis, such as BackTesting or Optimizing, I just turn the option off.

Oftentimes, I find that after a day's trading with it turned on, I can turn it off anyway for real time trading too, and have NT start trading sensibly again. YMMV..
