Postby StefanoSF » 10 Oct 2014

I have this one strategy which never synchs with the Broker positions. Any ideas?

Hello StefanoSF,
  1. What is the exact build of MultiCharts?
  2. What broker do you use?
  3. Does the issue happen at the moment you start auto-trading and stays forever or it resets the PnL values at a certain moment?
  4. What is the mode of auto-trading?
  5. What is the option "Get Real-Time Data From" in Strategy Properties set to?
  6. Do you use "Assign Market Position" option?
  7. If the answer to previous question is "yes", are all the inputs for "Assign Market Position" dialogue window filled correctly?

  • What is the option "Get Real-Time Data From" in Strategy Properties set to? RT is set to "IB"
  • Do you mean it is set to "Broker"?
  • Is it Financial Advisor account?
  • If the answer to the previous question is "yes", do you place trades on master acount so PnL is allocated to subaccounts?
  • If the answer to the previous question is also "yes", did you configured the chart in Strategy Properties (right-click on the chart -> Format Signals... -> Properties -> Auto-Trading tab -> Interactive Brokers: Settings -> Financial Advisor) to auto-trade according the instruction for FA accounts?
