Strategy state change even without being applied.

[clearpicks]

It seems all strategies enter states of SetDefaults and Terminated even if when they are not being running on a chart. Whenever I open the "Strategies" window (with no strategy even being configured), my strategies print out some debug information as if they are running and entering the state of SetDefaults then get terminated immediately. Please confirm this behavior is what was designed for. If so, what is the purpose of such design?

Thanks
