There continued to be live and profitable positions attached to my Account but that did not prevent the strategy from opening new positions -- despite the "Wait until flat ..." option selected. The execution of initial and trailing stop orders established for the new positions did not exit the pre-disable positions, which were left open even by the ExitOnClose option when the trading session for the instrument ended. It took an intervention external to NT to close these positions, which by then were far from being profitable.
I understand that on a strategy enable after disable active entry and exit orders are cancelled. But that does not explain the arbitrary erasing of strategy positions. What can a trader do to avoid getting into such a situation? As it stands, the possibility of random strategy disables makes the behavior of automated strategies not fully predictable, I do not think that sync settings which compel the closing of profitable account positions is a solution.
Surely, the erasure of strategy positions by a disable/enable event is an error (bug) that is easily fixed.
