Disabling Automated Execution for a Strategy

When you not longer have a use for an automated strategy that you have enabled, you can disable the strategy from automatically generating strategy orders. When doing so, you may be notified the open positions exist and will prompt you whether you want to close the position, keep the position open or go to the TradeManager or Chart Analysis window. For more information about the type of open positions, see New Strategy Order.

 Activate a Chart Analysis window containing an automated strategy. Access using the menu bar Format > Strategies menu sequence. The Format Analysis Techniques & Strategies dialog is displayed.
