NT8 Flatten on Friday

[MicroTrends]

Possibly add an option to flatten all positions and cancel all working orders at Friday 16:00 for example
Make sure people can flatten at Friday close… as I met a few who didn’t understand about gaps!!! and the like who get destroyed by over weekend positions yet want to keep in during the week overnight

NT8 Add bars Method OverLoad

//sometimes we do not want historical data loaded

bool loadHistorical =false;
Add(PeriodType…, Period, loadHistorical);

[NJA_MC]

Agreed!

It would be nice to stop historical data. Right now in NT7 I usually put in a line in at the top like:

if (Historical)
return;

If there were a way to have the "State.Historical" allow some form of SKIP option... That would be easier.

Hello NJA_MC,

Thank you for your post.

You can use if(State == State.Historical) return; inside of the OnBarUpdate().

Hello MicroTrends,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I will forward this over to development.

Hello MicroTrends,

//sometimes we do not want historical data loaded

bool loadHistorical =false;
Add(PeriodType…, Period, loadHistorical);

You can use the AddDataSeries() overload barsToLoad as in the following syntax:

AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriod barsPeriod, int barsToLoad, string tradingHoursName, bool? isResetOnNewTradingDay)

Flatten on:

Day, Week and before Rollovers. Auto Roll might be harder since it would be using some spread logic.
