Sync

[TexFly]

Hello,

Doesn't matter what setting I apply, I always get the strategy position not in sync message. I have modified the settings as instructed, even added the Accountsize in the code...no luck.

Any idea?

Thanks!
Tex

Hello,

Thank you for your post and welcome to our forums.

Do you have live positions or orders working on your account? Is this a live account or the Sim101 account?

Exactly what settings have you changed? Did you set Sync Account Position to True?

Hello Matthew,

I'm still testing using Sim101.

The settings are:
Price=day, days to load 365, bar on close=true, min bars 20, slippage=1, entries per direc=1, stop&Target=bystrategy, sync account position=true, account size=500, order quantity=by account.

Hello Tex,
Thanks for your post and I am replying for Matthew.

If your account is flat but if there an open position as calculated in the historical bars of the strategy then NinjaTrader will sync itself (by submitting an order) to match the account position and the strategy position if you set Sync Account Position to true.

Please refer to our help guide to know more about it

I see, that's why as soon as I enable the strategy an order gets triggered immediately. How do I enable a strategy so that entry orders are placed ONLY when a condition happen?

Hello Tex,
You can append the below code to stop the strategy from calculating the historical bars.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	
	if (Historical)
		return;
	
       //rest of the codes
}

This way your strategy will be live (with no positions) when you enable it.

Great! Now when I place my strategy I do not get the error anymore. You Guys rock!

Thanks.
