====Understanding Strategy Calculation in Different Modes====
There are 3 separate market positions when strategy is auto-trading in MultiCharts:
# '''Broker position'''. This is '''net position for a traded security at your broker account''' that takes into consideration all trades. It can be seen on [[Order and Position Tracker#Open Positions Tab| Open Positions tab of Order and Position Tracker]].
# '''Auto-trading engine position'''. This is '''inner position of the strategy on a specific chart''' calculated by the software. It can be seen on [[Order and Position Tracker#Strategy Positions tab| Strategy Positions tab of Order and Position Tracker]].
# '''Chart position'''. This is the '''position generated by orders visually executed on chart'''. It has nothing to do with open position horizontal drawing shown when you open [[Chart Trading]] panel.
When you auto trade '''in SA (sync. mode) the 2 and 3 are the same''', what you see on the chart is synchronized with auto-trading engine. When '''you use AA (async. mode), you may have to deal with 3 different positions''': what you have on broker, what you see on chart, what MC thinks it is.
