Positions accounts exceeds entryhandling

[memonic]

Dear all.

My strategy is developed based on EntryHandling.AllEntries=1.

But in my account position appears 2 Long positions. I don´t know why add 1 new position in my strategy?.

Attached you can find the executions and the positions.

Bes regards

Hello memonic,

Thanks for opening the thread.

Strategies manage their own virtual position that is not to be confused with the Account position. This design is in place so you can run concurrent strategies on the same instrument and be able to go short and long at the same time, for example.

The Strategies tab of the Control Center will tell you the strategies current virtual position as well as the account position on that instrument.

To further troubleshoot a strategy to understand how it ended up in a certain position, debugging steps will need to be taken to monitor the logic that allowed the order methods to submit. We generally advise to add prints for the variables used to control your order entry conditions and to enable TraceOrders so you can observe the logic of your strategy as it processes in the Output window.

An example of a good diagnostic print would be as follows:

Print("Entry Condition:  VarA: " + VairableA + " VarB: " + VariableB);
if(VariableA == VariableB)
{
	Print("Condition true. Quantity: " + Quantity);
	EnterLong(Quantity);
}

Thanks Jim.

In this case, what is my current position. Position=1 or Acct.Position=2

Hello memonic,

The Strategy has a position of 1 long and the Account has an overall position of 2 long. The Account position includes the Strategy position.

hello Jim.

But this account has only 1 strategy. and the strategy has EntryHandling.AllEntries=1.

Hello memonic,

The Strategy has a position of 1 long. This makes sense if the strategy has an EntriesPerDirection value of 1.

The account is out of sync with the strategy. This could be a result of enabling and disabling the strategy so it adds a position of 1 long to the account before it is enabled again and adds another position of 1 long to the account.

This could also be from a manual order submission outside of the strategy.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you further.
