==General Understanding of the Situation==
When a customer uses 2 or more separate charts and auto trade from these charts on the same instrument on the same account of the same broker, then the strategies that are used on the charts are not connected in anyway any way (if global variables are not used in their scripts to pass values between them). Even if MarketPosition_at_broker is used, it simply can get the real position from broker, but the actual position on chart may differ in this case. The following example can demonstrate a simple possible scenario of trading from 2 charts on the same instrument:<br>
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': Market position at broker = 0. Market position on each chart = 0. If your strategy on chart A generates a long entry, then the strategy on chart B doesn't know about it. If the strategy on Chart B goes short, then chart A also doesn't know about it. So the strategies continue trading individually on their charts, preserving their chart positions. However, since the instrument at broker is the same, the market position at broker on the instrument is the net position of the orders sent from both charts. In this example the position will be flat after 1 order from each chart. <br>
