Can you manually intervene and keep the strategy running?

Is there a way to, say, close an open strategy position but not have the strategy automatically disable itself?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, there are a variety of ways that you can close your position within a strategy. Can you tell me how the associated entry order would have been placed? Would you be using the unmanaged approach, or the managed approach, and which methods would you use for entry? With that information, I can tell you the most common way to exit the position.

I know how to programmatically close the position within the strategy code. I am talking about clicking the "Close" button on the DOM or Chart Trader and still have the strategy continue running.

Hello,

You can do this, but it is highly inadvisable. In this case, the strategy will not recognize the closure, and it will still consider you to be in a position. Then, when the strategy attempts to exit the position, you may end up with a new entry in your account. We highly recommend handling all entry/exit logic in your code, or disabling your strategy immediately after you manually close a position entered by the strategy.
