Manual enter into Strategy
If I turn on my strategy and it show that it would already be in a trade, is there a way to manually enter the trade and have the strategy then issue its exits so that it take me out when it is suppossed to. Or will it never know what i have done manually? is there a way to do this?Tags: None

hifreq,
When you start up your strategy it assumes your account is in sync with the displayed strategy position. You will definitely want to manually sync the two if they are not in sync at strategy start. You can do this in any of the order entry windows.
Please also ensure that you are running with "Immediately submit" from the Tools->Options->Strategies->NinjaScript options. This option will submit orders as if you were already in the trade in your account.
Please also review this article for a better understanding: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4033Josh P.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Manula Entry
When i select that box to immediatley submit order - it does not do it immediately. I am trading on 4hr chart does that matter. Would i need to log in log out for it to take effect. If i did not do it that way and just enter lets say a Sell will the strategy trigger when the exit criteria is met even though it did not trigger the Sell itself? If i do nothing will the strategy create an exit order which will then actually create a BUY?

Hi hifreq, the 'immediately submit' option will submit your historical working orders live (exits), you would still need to manually sync your account position to the strategy position by entering the position that the strategy historically holds at the startup point.BertrandNinjaTrader Customer Service

manual entry
1) so can you confirm that when i manually sync up that strategy, that when it sees the exit condition it will actually execute so that i will then be flat? 2) Additionally if i do not do anyhting will the strategy execute what it thinks is an exit, but will actually create an real position for me which i would not want. 3) lastly if i have wait until flat (i have it checked) then it will execute once that strategy position goes away and it sees the next entry condition arise

1. Yes, that is what it means to be in sync. Strategy actions are reflected in account position.
2. If you do not sync strategy to account you will end up short in your account from your strategy exit. You absolutely need to sync.
3. Correct. You need to sync with Wait until flat checked too. To sync is easier because you just need to ensure that your account position is flat.Josh P.NinjaTrader Customer Service

Manual Entry
Ok, i was good until the last statement. "to sync is easier............." when my strategy is truned on it think it i am in a position, but i am not. So when i sync i will be creating the position the strategy know (obviously at a different price). Once done teh strategy will exit on the normal conditions. If i have wait until Flat, I should not need to do anything b/c i assume that means it will wait until my strategy position is flat before finding the next entry point and when it does it will execut a live position as well.

hifreq,
If you use Wait until flat, start your strategy after you have ensured your account position is flat. If you use Immediately Submit, start your strategy and if it shows a strategy position, make sure your account position matches it.
Both options absolutely REQUIRE you to ensure a sync. If you are not in sync you are REQUIRED to take action to bring your account position into sync.Josh P.NinjaTrader Customer Service
