realtime versus backtest

[svadlenka]

Hello,
is there any way to find out from within a strategy, if it was started from graph (real time) or from backtesting?

Thank you

You can use if (Historical) to figure out if it is backtesting historical data or real data.

Historical property is not exactly, what I need.
"When running a live strategy, this property will be true until the strategy starts processing real-time data."
But I need to know, if I am backtesting or not already in Initialize section to set some parameters differently. Is there any way?

Easiest is to define an user input for this then (i.e. backtest value 1, live 2...) and check it off in your code.
