Strategy window

I am puzzled by the operation of the strategy tab.

1) Sometimes if I enable a strategy from the strategy tab, and the instrument is in a chart, it will display the strategy in the chart as though I had enabled it from there. Other times it will not, but if I go to the chart and enable it from there, then it will show up in the strategy tab and will go from white/enabled to yellow/enabled. How can I get it to go yellow/enabled right from the strategy tab in the first place?

2) If I use CTRL and click on several strategies, then right click (with CTRL still down) and select "enable" they will all enable. Sometimes they ignore the action and there are no messages or errors in the log.

1. Strategies that originated from the strategy tab will never show up on a chart. Strategies that originated from a chart will show up on the chart. If the strategy from the chart was disabled and re-enabled later, it will show up on the chart again.

The two states of an enabled strategy is yellow or green. Yellow = waiting on the virtual position to finish before trading. Green = start trading right away regardless of virtual position.

2. When you right click, you can let go of the CTRL key. Once selected, the strategies will be selected. Selecting Enable begins the process of starting up the strategies. If a strategy does not start up you will want to check if you get logs about enabling NinjaScript at all.
