Strategy Sync Meaning

[daven]

I'm not sure how to interpret Sync, when running a strategy. I am sending two screen shots, on of the strategy page showing two strategies with one virtual position each, 1 long, 1 short. I say virtual because I just turned on the strategy, both strategies had a trade on, and sync showed "yes", yet there where no contracts being traded in the sim accounts. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what that sync indication means.

Hello daven,

Thank you for writing in.

If you right click on the strategy, is your start behavior set to Wait Until Flat synchronize account? If so, if you go to the orders tab, do you see trades made on behalf of the strategy?

I have provided a link on syncing account positions below,

I look forward to your reply.

If the strategy is highlighted yellow, does that mean the strategy has a virtual position on, but no corresponding live position in the account?
