FAQ #129

When a user subscribes to a strategy, what positions are taken by the user?

A subscriber strategy could take trades different from the creators own deployment based on the market condition. 

For example, the strategy positions are a ATM (At the money) straddle. At the time of 1st deployment, the underlying value was 10200 and hence 10200 strike straddle will get executed. In the 2nd deployment, the underlying has moved to 10300, hence 10300 strike straddle will get executed. 

If the creator wants all his subscribers to have the same positions or lets say he has a buy and hold portfolio which needs to be replicated across all subscribers before the further part of the strategy can be taken, the creator can set  “Recreate positions for new subscriber “ to Yes. Then, the all new subscribers takes the same exact positions as currently held by the creator after all repairs. Post that point, as conditions are satisfied, the new trades are taken across all subscribers thus keeping them all in sync.
