Yellow color on enabled strategy

[binwang2]

Hi NT friends,

I enabled the same strategy on $ pairs and some of them showed yellow color. Log file shows no error message at all. Attached screen shots.

Any idea what is going on?

Hi Binwang2,

Thank you for posting.

The yellow indicates that the strategy is waiting to become flat before making any further trades.
When this occurs on start up of a strategy, this usually means that a historical order is still open to the strategy.

You can avoid this by one of two possibilities.

Using Account Sync as a true for the strategy parameters which sync your accounts position with the strategy. However, if you have multiple strategies running on the same account, I would not recommend this as it will cause confusion with the other strategies.

The second is to use if(Historical) return; in the beginning of your strategy in OnBarUpdate().
This will tell the strategy to ignore historical data and trades.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance

The if (historical) return works. Thanks a lot.
