Historical orders

[ilyats]

Hi!
Can you tell me please, is there any ability do not submit the historical orders, when I attach the strategy to a chart? In other way, I need start trading from "clean sheat". I don't care about the orders should placed before the time I attached a strategy to a chart! May be there is some options about that? I tried to clear all db and account information, but it didn't help.

ilyats, you could just start your strategy OnBarUpdate() with

if (Historical) return;

Thanks Bertran, it works. But what to do with backtesting? There are no orders submitted in backtests if I use this code. Should I and one more extern bool variable to identify whether is the strategy is used in backtests or in real?

Correct, this would be realtime use only - another approach is removing the historical check and starting your strategy in 'WaitUntilFlat' mode - this would then take the first realtime generated signal and don't take into consideration any historically taken over orders / positions.
