Real Time Strategy Display on chart

[fiddy]

i am trying to implement a live strategy on a chart so that i can see how it performs in real time.
however the chart shows all the historical results also.
how do i avoid this.
i only want a clean chart with trades filled for the strategy in real time

Look up historical. Add that to your code

Hello fiddy,


Sledge is correct. Checking for historical data in a strategy, when running a backtest, will always return true.
When running a live strategy, this property will be true until the strategy starts processing real-time data.
Using this example below will exclude any historical data from the strategy and only process real time trades.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Only run on real-time data
    if (Historical)
         return;
}
