Hi,  
  
  
  
Wondering if upon initiating auto trade in an account with currently open positions, it would be possible to opt out of or temporarily turn off or disable auto sync? This in order to prevent the closing of the open positions.  
  
  
  
I believe I have seen an option on the auto trade control panel at some point in the past allowing for auto sync to be disabled once a system has already begun trading. However I’m unaware of any way of doing this in tandem with auto-trade being turned on for the first time in a particular account.

Thanks.
