Immediately submit live working historical orders?

[ErikHR]

I have a strategy that I just finished back testing. I would like to paper trade it now to see how it does. For the symbols I have backtested against I have some positions that should currently be open (Exit on close in the strategy analyzer). I have reset my SIM account and in the strategies tab I have added the strategy. I set the Immediately submit live working historical orders property when I reset the SIM account. If I go to the orders tab and manually enter all of the orders for the symbols that were (Exit on close in the strategy analyzer) will the running strategy close the positions when the exit conditions are hit?
Thanks,
Erik

Hello ErikHR,

Let me know if my assumptions below are incorrect.

• You have created manuals orders.
• The position of your manual orders matches your strategy position.
• "Immediately submit live working orders" is set to true.

You're wondering if the strategy will close these manual orders once the exit condition is met.

Yes, the Exit statements will be interepreted as a closing order for these positions.

Will live strategy enter new positions or exit current position when the followings are true:
1. "Immediately submit live working orders" is set to true.
2. Manual orders were executed

Will live strategy enter new positions or exit current position when the followings are true:
1. "Wait until flat before executing live" is set to true.
2. Manual orders were executed

Explanation on your reference regarding this two settings is NOT CLEAR at all.

Strategies have nothing to do with manual orders. They are completely independent methods of entering and exiting orders, except that if you manually close a position that a Strategy opened, the Strategy will be disabled/stopped.
