I am trying to figure out which strategy sync method to use, but it seems that I need your advice here.
I've been reading the following manual (https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._positions.htm) a couple of times and thought I got it, but then on of my recent trades got me into a complete opposite direction. So, now I have to rethink it.
What do I have today:
1. I have two separate non related Strategies that I run each day at almost the same time (let's say 10:00 AM EST for strategy #1 and 10:15 AM for strategy #2).
2. These strategies have a different logic, but they trade on similar instruments, which means that technically I could be in the same stock, which is traded as two unrelated "Strategy Positions". I could even have two identical orders entry orders placed by both strategies (rare , but happens).
3. I do not leave positions overnight, meaning that each day I start trading when my Account Positions are flat.
What do (not) I want to achieve:
1. I don't want any interference between the two strategies. i.e. I don't want that a sync process of strategy #2 would somehow affect existing orders/positions that were already generated by strategy #1.
2. I want it to submit live orders that were generated in a real time only. I want any entry orders generated, before a strategy was turned on, to be completely disregarded and not submitted retroactively.
3. Bonus - in case a strategy turns off for some reason (e.g. tech reason) during a trading session and I turn it back, I do not want it to make any changes/affect any existing orders/traders.
Looking for your advice in regard to which Syncing Account Positions practice would be the best fit here.
Thanks!
