:* '''Assume the Initial Market Position at the Broker''' is always '''FLAT''' when automation is enabled.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Example''': Assume that according to your backtesting the current position is 1 contract long and your real broker position is 1 contract short. With this option you will have +1 on your chart, flat for auto trading engine within the software and -1 short at broker, when the automation is turned on. </div>
:* '''Assume the Initial Market Position at the Broker''' is '''the SAME AS on the CHART when automation''' is enabled.

===Select Broker Plug-in===
Each chart has a Broker Plug-in selected for it by default when it is created. Broker Plug-ins are similar to [[Broker Profiles]]. All information about broker plug-in configuration is stored in a corresponding Broker Profile.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Example: If the chart has data from Interactive Brokers, IB automated trading plug-in is selected by default for this chart. Connection settings are the same as in the corresponding Broker Profile (except for Default Account settings for [[FXCM Broker Profile]]).</div>
If the instrument on the chart is provided by a data vendor that is not a broker, then the default plug-in for automated trading will be the same as the first existing Broker Profile on the Trade Bar.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': If the first Broker Profile on the Trade Bar is Dukascopy and a new chart is created using eSignal data feed, then Dukascopy will be selected by default as the broker plug-in for automated trading.</div>
To change a Broker Plug-in for a particular chart, click the arrow in the Broker Plug-in field to get a dropdown list and choose the required one.
Settings of the Plug-in can be adjustested and become different from the the corresponding Broker Profile settings. Not all the settings are the same, to learn more about particular Broker Plug-ins, see here [[Broker Plug-ins]].
