Way to reset strategy/account positions?

[Jeremytang]

Hi,

I had a strategy that had some errors with serialization, causing NT to shut down unexpectedly. I've since fixed those errors, but noticed that one my symbols (NG) is now consistently out of sync with any strategy I run.

Is there a way to wipe the slate clean and somehow reset the position information for a particular symbol?

Hello Jeremy,

The strategy position is generated by the signals of the strategy. There's no way to state it explicitly.

You may consider adding the following lines to your strategy, which means it only runs on real time data. With this the strategy won't run on historical data and should then be in a flat state at the start.

return; (http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/Historical.html)

Hi,
I have a question relating to reconcilliation between STRATEGY position and ACCOUNT position. I understand the concept and operation of Strategy vs. Account. What I would like to do is to generate an ALERT or NOTICE (such as an email) when the Strategy is out of Sync with Account positions?
With thanks in advance,
MT

Hello MKTTHOTS,

Unfortunately this is something that would have to be monitored manually. There aren't built in NinjaScript methods that can access your account position.

Thanks Ryan & understood. Question, what is the best way to monitor this in your opinion?

You can use the NinjaTrader control center for this. The strategies tab will show your strategy position. The positions tab will show account positions.

How come I don't get the strategy position under strategy tab? The account position under position tab looks fine. I am running NT7.0.1000.1. with IB connection.

never mind, I found the reason.
