First 19 candles not processed?

[epcompany]

My strategy has decided to stop processing the first 19 5 minute candles of recorded data. I put debug code to paint the screen pink on any on-bar-update as follows:

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{ BackColor = Color.Pink;

A screen shot is attached. The recorded data starts at the 6:00AM candle. The screen should be pink from the first tick of the first bar and it isn't.

I'm out of clues. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Larry

Larry,

This is the case because of your Min. bars required setting for the strategy. By default you require 20 bars before your strategy will begin processing.

Thanks, Josh! I see it now.

As I control my own start-up in the strategy, how/where do I override the defaut in my code? I'd rather not have to remember to set this up manually every time I start the strategy.

Thanks,

In Initialize(), use...

BarsRequired = 0;

That's the best I can do for a thank you!
