Strategy opens with a position although I don't seem to have any

[brettcomardelle93]

I cancelled all orders, I disconnect, I removed sim accounts, yet everytime I enable the strategy, it begins with an open position and the strategy name is yellow (I usually see green). Logs show this:

Hello brettcomardelle93,

When you see that the strategy is yellow that would be caused by the start behavior waiting until flat. That is normal for a strategy which placed a historical position before entering. You can find a good deal about this topic in the following forum post:

I look forward to being of further assistance.

How do I stop this historical position? I'm wanting this to only be using live, incoming data.

I figured it out. Now it doesn't use historical data.
