this post was referred to by NinjaTrader_Brett here and presented as a separate option (Option 3) than automatic syncing (Option 4):
My situation: I have long running strategies that use historical data. When starting strategies there are times that I would like to immediately enter an existing virtual trade, but other times when I want to let the strategy go flat first. I am assuming that there is a way to use both approaches and that it may involve manually entering orders and then syncing them to the strategy (maybe I am totally wrong).
If it does involve manually syncing then would it be possible to get the official NT step by step instructions as to the procedure to sync a strategy and account by placing a manual order? For instance:
1) Identify instrument order quantity of active historical virtual trade
2) Place manual trade for this instrument with the exact quantity as the historical virtual trade
3) Enable Immediately Submit Live Working Orders option
4) Select Synch Account Position in strategy options
5) Enable strategy
6) Disable Immediately Submit Live Working Orders option (enable Wait Until Flat) after syncing complete so that the next enabled strategy waits until flat.
Thanks
