Strategy Disable & Enable Removes Exit Orders

[bc24fl]

I have a strategy that enters a position with a stop loss and target order. If I disable and re-enable the strategy both exit orders get cancelled but the position remains opened. When I look at the log the New State is set to Cancelled. Prior to disabling the strategy the orders where in New state = Working. Can anyone shed some light as to what is happening here? Is that by design? Obviously I'd prefer both exit orders to remain in place. My settings below:

Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = false;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 0;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = false;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
BarsRequiredToTrade = 3;
// Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
// See the Help Guide for additional information
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = true;

Hello bc24fl,

Thank you for your post.

You could determine if exit orders cancel when a strategy is disabled by navigating to Control Center > Tools > Options > Strategies tab. Within the NinjaScript section of the Strategies tab, you may enable or disable automatic cancellation of exit orders. A checkmark displayed means the setting is enabled and orders will be canceled when disabling a strategy.
