Strategies not being disabled

[edstaffin]

Hi,
Add one or more strategies to the control center strategies tab.
Enable them.
Now compile one of the strats.
The strat is still enabled. No warning, no nothing. I'm pretty sure this is not how it worked in NT7.
This is bad.
Thanks ... Ed

This is expected and same as NT7. The same strategy instance will persist no matter if you compile. Once you disable > enable then a new strategy instance would be created.

Perhaps there is an improvement that can be made in this area, namely that if a running strategy is recompiled so that the on-disk version is now different from the executing in-memory version, a flag is made visible next to the running strategy on the Strategies page to indicate this?

Good thought, personally I would expect the current version of my strategy to be running until I reload NinjaScript which then uses the new version. As far as logic for auto switch over I can see it getting quite tricky (Parameter changing, different defaults for paramters, etc, etc). Will add it to the list but would make a strong case for simplicity over complexity here. SFT-480.

This is a good idea, but we should make sure the current strategy keeps running as the new code might be for testing purposes.

Yes, the intention would be a flag that simply says "hey, this strategy that you are currently running has been recompiled and if you stop it and start it again, the most recent version will run, not this version you are currently executing".
