Syncing account positions - active order cancellation

[jakjak74]

Hi
Is there a way of avoiding this ?

Any active orders on the account previously generated by the strategy that does not match* an active strategy order will be cancelled.
Should the strategy be unable to cancel and receive confirmation on the cancellation of these orders within 40 seconds the strategy will not start and an alert will be issued.

How to make a strategy not interract with the account position and the account live orders? My concern is if for some reason I restart the strategy, some of the orders, while on historical data might be executed by NT8 whereas in reality on the account they were not and therefore if I understand well, the strategy will look to cancel those.

Thanks

Hello jakjak74,

Thank you for your note.

You would want to set the strategies start behavior to “Wait until flat”. Under this setting, new positions will not be executed until the strategies position has reached a flat state.

Please see wait until flat section of our helpguide,

Thanks Alan

Under this mode we still have (from https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._positions.htm)

When your strategy starts it will check for any active orders previously generated by the strategy on your account and cancel those first. Should the strategy be unable to cancel and receive confirmation on the cancellation of these orders within 40 seconds the strategy will not start and an alert will be issued.

So is there a way for the strategy to not interact with the account orders already in place (I think mostly at the ones created by the strategy in the past which haven't been executed yet) ?

Hello jakjak74,

There is no option which would not cancel any previous active orders generated by the strategy.
With wait until flat setting, you would not need to be concerned about previous orders being executed.
