Sync False and Exit On Session Close

[JakeOfSpades]

Quick question, if a strategy is not synced with an account position thus False showing for the Sync column in the Strategies tab. Will exit on session close orders still submit for that strategy? Or not because Sync is false.

Is there a way to disable this sync feature? I want orders to always submit regardless if synced or not because I have Trade Station strategies submitting on Ninja too with the email integration on the same Ninja account with other Ninja strategies and it's causing sync issues.

Hello JakeOfSpades,

Thank you for your note.

If ExitOnSessionClose is enabled for the strategy and there is an open strategy position at that time, then an exit order will be submitted to close the strategy position. There are different Start Behavior settings that give you some choice on when the strategy should begin submitting live trades. Those different settings are described here:

Ultimately, if you are trading multiple strategies for the same instrument on the same account, the strategies could potentially conflict with each other and cause undesired behavior. For this reason, it is recommended to use separate accounts for different strategies that you plan to trade on the same instrument at the same time. If this is the case, please reach out to your broker for information on how to get a different account or sub-account that may use a separate trading strategy at the same time.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
