Strategy Start Time

[pistolpete]

This morning I turned on a strategy, the time for the strategy to start was at 10:30 am but the actual time that I turned it on had already passed, it was 10:45 am. At 10:55 the condition occurred for the strategy to enter the market and the strategy did nothing and I missed a great trade. Is it that a strategy start time needs to be actually triggered by the time on the computer, so if I entered the strategy to come on at 10:30 am but I entered it in at 10:45 will it wait to turn on the next time it hits 10:30 am?

Hello pistolpete,

Yes, you are correct in your assumption if you coded your strategy to start at 10:30 AM and you initiate the strategy after 10:30 AM in the Strategies-tab or in a chart.
