Account Position/Order

[Mike Winfrey]

Would be nice if NT would allow management of Account Positions/Orders inside a strategy without closing the strategy.

Hi Mike,

Can you elaborate? What sort of management of positions are you unable to do inside the strategy which forces you to close the strategy?

Are you selecting the "Close" button which is closing the strategy too?

[Mike Winfrey]

I'm referring to inside a strategy. The situation that comes up regularly is having an open position or order when a disconnect occurs. Those open positions or orders are now orphaned which means the strategy no longer knows about them and therefore can not manage them. Inserting code in the OnStartUp() method to detect positions or orders is certainly doable. However, any attempt to close those orders or positions inside the OnStartUp() method results in the strategy being disabled. Would be really nice if the strategy would continue running.
