API - State - what is the order of all enums?

[misova]

Some State enums are clear, some not:

• State.SetDefaults - for initial configuration
• State.Configure - for later configuration + custom resources
• State.Historical - when processing historical data
• State.Transition - when switching from historical -> realtime data
• State.Realtime - when processing live data
• State.Terminated - termination of the strategy

What mean these states and where they should in order of processing?

• State.Active
• State.Finalized
• State.DataLoaded (which data were loaded specifically?)

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

State.Active is used for objects which do not process data. Think of it like "RealTime" for something like a ShareAdapter. An Indicator/Strategy does not go to State.Active.

State.DataLoaded comes after State.Configure, but before. State.Historical. It just signals that all required data objects have been loaded into the hosting object.

State.Finalized is used internally, it is no use to an end-user/3rd party developer. But basically, the last stage we use to shut down an indicator after it has been terminated, or has ran into a fatal error.
