MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy -- question

Postby joebone » 26 Aug 2020

I have 6 different workspaces running one signal each and they are all trading the same instrument(@ES#).

These signals are the same signal optimized differently.

I run them all Async.... occasionally my orders at the broker(IB-Paper) don't fill when a signal will get a fill. this leaves a hung position where I have a false fill on the chart.

will MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy see the true market position for each strategy here? could i use it to get a sync like effect for my signals?

The way I understand it, is that `MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_the_Strategy` returns a different value for each chart, and that each chart is treated as if it were unique. So it should not matter that other charts trade the same symbol with the same strategy.

Here is a helpful comment from Andrew about it.

Of course, given the importance of the topic it's a good idea to verify this with IB paper trading just to be sure.
