VeighNa Strategy Positions Track Strategy Holdings

Summary

This short forum exchange addresses what happens to a strategy's recorded position when a trader manually closes a position during a simulated or live run, including around a futures contract roll. The reply clarifies that the `pos` value tracks positions held by the strategy. This distinction helps explain why the strategy's internal position record may not automatically reflect an external manual trade.

The post raises the practical concern that a strategy could attempt another close after the trader has already closed manually. However, it does not explain how VeighNa synchronizes strategy state with broker positions, what specific position variables or callbacks are involved, or how to prevent duplicate orders. The answer is therefore a useful conceptual reminder, not a full operational procedure. Traders should verify how their particular strategy updates its internal state before resuming execution after manual intervention.

Key ideas

• The forum reply says that `pos` represents positions maintained by the strategy.
• A manual broker-side close may differ from the strategy's recorded position state.
• The exchange does not provide a procedure for synchronizing state after manual trades.
• Confirm strategy position handling before restarting execution after intervening manually.
