Strategy enters trade instantly upon execution

[hawks67]

When I run my strategy, it immediately enters a trade ("Order Pending"), even before the bars and drawing objects appear. It's clearly making calculations based on something from many bars back, as the conditions specified are not within required ranges at the time the strategy is run.

Is there a way to code the order entry code so that it only looks forward instead of backwards?

	        if ( (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)   ) 
			{	EnterLong(1); 
				SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, 6); 
                                SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 8);  
			}

Thanks in advance,
Gary

Hello,

If you would like to "omit" the historical trades or make the strategy realtime only, you could add the following line to the top of the OnBarUpdate override:

if(Historical) return;

This simply returns if the bar is historical which would prevent any logic before real time.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
