AUTO Entry MANUAL Exit

[Khalaad]

Is it possible to trade a strategy if:

• all entry orders are automated;
• but all exit orders are manually executed?

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, you can open trades with a strategy then close them manually however you will want to review this link for details:

Confused

I followed the link you provided and have a question regarding when strategy and actual positions are mismatched.
If you are live how do you submit a mkt order to sync strategy and actual positions? Do you need to switch over to sim101 account, enter your order and then switch back to live?

Hello Mindset,

You would need to submit a market order to your live account, so the strategy and account position is in synch. More information can be found at the link below.

Option

or perhaps click the option to wait until flat before executing live?
I assume the strategy would exit the declined trade and then syncing would be re established?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

I am not sure what option you are referring to. Could you please clarify.

NinjaTrader will not synch automatically if there is a difference in the strategy and account position.

If your strategy relies on historical data to calculate its current position, it will wait until the strategy position is flat before submitting orders.

However, it does not check the account position(!). More info can be found at the link below.
