Restarting Auto trading in SA mode

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how they would maintain their auto strategy's position if in SA mode and you need to temporarily switch the strategy off?

Say I'm long at 1.2922 in Euro Fx with signal generated stops and targets in place. If I turn off the strategy, cancel orders (is this right?), do NOT close position, then how do I turn SA mode back on without the absence of stops and targets? If I don't cancel the orders when turning the strategy off, what happens to these orders when I turn the strategy back on: Will they be maintained as calculated by the strategy? Will they be in surplus of new stops and targets generated next bar. Or are they simply replaced on the next bar calculation?

When I carried out the above I found the solution was to switch to AA mode then switch back to SA mode once flat. Any other ideas?

Hello wilkinsw,

If the conditions for generating stops and targets are met when you turn on the auto trading and assign the position to it-the orders will be sent to the broker.

There is no way how you can tell the strategy about the active price orders at the broker. If you do not cancel the orders, turn on the auto trading, your strategy generates the orders->you have two set of active stops and targets at broker.
The orders that were not cancelled when the automated order execution has been turned off will no longer be monitored by the strategy and will live their own life.
