In [SA] mode it is always flat on chart when you turn it on, but in [AA] mode it can be short, flat or long, depending on what was generated in backtesing (to learn more see [[Auto Trading|Mode Selection]]. This option allows you to control the initial market position for the strategy to start calculation and order generation when you turn on automated trading.
Two options are available:
 
* Show the Assign the Initial Market Position at the Broker Dialogue<br>By default it this varient is selected. If market position on the chart is not flat and automation is turned on, than the Assign the Initial Market Position Dialogue window will pop up. There the direction of current market position, number of open contracts, average entry price and maximum position profit amount can be put.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': The '''Show Always''' box should be checked to get the Assign the Initial Market Position Dialogue every time the automation is enabled, no matter what is the strategy position by that moment.
