NT not in sync Broker

[GerTrader]

Hello,

when my NinjaTrader is flat, i have a net position of -1 in the ZB-Contract and when NT is Long(1), I'am flat. How can I tell NT, that this Long Position in fact does not exist? Restarting did not help.

GerTrader, is this via manual or automatic trading? For NinjaScript strategies proper synching between the strategy and account position is vitally important - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/StrategyPositionVsAccountPosition.html

NinjaTrader and Broker are out of sync.

NT: Long 1
Broker: Flat

I want to tell NT, that the Long-Position does not exist.

Then just add a manual execution to the NinjaTrader database taking you net flat to sync - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/ExecutionsTab.html

I manually added a Sell Execution, restarted NinjaTrader but the open Position (Long) still remains there in NT. The real net position is still flat. However, i also tried it in Simulation Mode before on another computer and it did work.

I am using TT as broker interface, is there a difference, which applies?

GerTrader, is this from an overnight position? This is unfortunately not supported for NinjaTrader 6.5 and the TT connection, for NinjaTrader 7 some TT broker architectures will support this then - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/NT7/NinjaTrader7.html

If the manually added exectution did not help, please reset the DB under Tools > Options > Misc

I tried it twice, but the position still remains there.

I disconnected; reseted DB; restarted NT; connected to TT and the position was there. All historical data is gone but one buy execution and one open position remained. I manually deleted this execution, restarted NT, connected to TT and the execution was back there.

It seems that the Execution is re-created when NT connects to TT, according to the timestamp of the execution.

And yes, it may be due to a unintended overnight position...

GerTrader, are you sure the account is flat at your broker?

[GerTrader]

yes, broker has a web interface and I also receive daily statements.

I see GerTrader, thanks - I would suggest trying then a complete fresh database file by


Exiting NinjaTrader
Then go to MyDocuments\NinjaTrader 6.5\db and rename the NinjaTrader.mdb into for example NinjaTrader.Old.mdb
Restart NinjaTrader after this step and it will create a new database file
Then connect to your TT feed and you should be flat.
If not, please call your broker and have them look into the account status
