Using Account size with strategy on backtest

[blackhawk]

Hi,

I need to use account size function in my strategy when backtesting.
For example: Stop trading if account size < 95000.

I tried by this way:

1) I set the account size on initialize function:

protected override void Initialize()
{
...
AccountSize = 100000;
...
}

2) I give this instruction inside OnBarUpdate function:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (AccountSize < 95000) return;
...
}

But it's not working. When the account size goes below 95000 the strategy keeps working.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You

Hello blackhawk,

Thank you for your post.

return will only return the OnBarUpdate() method after the condition has been processed. The Strategy will continue to run though. You may wish to use Disable() to stop the Strategy: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...t7/disable.htm
