=== Auto Trading in Asynchronous Mode ===
When a strategy is auto trading in [[Auto Trading#Mode Selection|Asynchronous Mode]], the strategy position on the chart is formed by all orders that are displayed, including the orders from backtesting, which are not taken into account at the broker. The orders generated and displayed on the chart during real-time calculation are not guaranteed to be sent from MultiCharts though through broker plug-in and be executed. This means the picture you see on the chart may be unrealistic (executed orders, market position). One should not expect a position match to be always true if the auto trading's mode is Asynchronous.
There are 3 places where orders are executed and positions are opened/closed:
# '''Broker end''',
=== FA 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 master account (F) can be reflected as '''zero''' on the Open Positions/Strategy Positions tabs of the Order and Position Tracker.
If a 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. It is possible to manually assign the total position for the strategy before turning on auto-trading, or use [[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.
