Similar to combining manual and automated trading, having more than 1 chart auto trading the symbol '''X''' at the broker account '''Y''' at the same time leads to position mismatch, because strategies on each chart are working individually. To learn more about this, please read [[Trading from Multiple Charts on One Instrument|this article]].
=== FA accounts Accounts from Interactive Brokers ===Interactive Brokers API does not provide cumulative broker position for Financial Advisor (FA ) accounts, that is why the broker position for the F master account (F) can be reflected as '''zero''' on the Open Positions/Strategy Positions tabs of the Order and Position Tracker.If a strategy’s strategy calculation depends on the net position at broker for multiple accounts, then the [[GetPositionQuantity]] command can be used to calculate the net position across the required accounts for the specified instrument. If autotrading is to be restarted, it It is possible to manually assign the total position for the strategy before turning on startauto-trading, or use the [[ChangeMarketPosition]] to assign the calculated position and average entry price to the strategy.
After that is done - [[MarketPosition_at_Broker_for_The_Strategy]] and [[CurrentContracts]] will return the strategy position.
Basically in In this case the position mismatch under the Open Positions and the zero value returned by [[MarketPosition_at_Broker]] can be ignored as really there’s there is no mismatchactually.
