===Assign the Initial Market Position at the Broker Settings ===
Whenever automated trading is turned on a srtrategy strategy starts working with a particular market position. Depending on the mode of auto trading the position can vary. 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 backtesting (to learn more see [[#Mode_Selection|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:
:* '''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.
:* '''Use the actual position at the broker''' - the initial position will be the same as actual postition position at the broker when automation is enabled.
