Issue on strategy start up

[lvaduva]

I am having a problem with the strategy opening a position upon start up. The strategy looks moving average difference to enter if MA(5)[0] > MA(10)[0] && MA(5)[1] <= MA(10)[1]. This is basically an example, the strategy is looking for a crossover. The problem is that right when I start up the strategy, it does not wait for the cross over it just opens up a position. Can I do something to prohibit this?

lvaduva,

When you start a strategy it calculates what it thinks its strategy position is based on all the historical data it is processing and continues off of that strategy position. If you do not wish for this and would like to start fresh whenever you start the strategy please add this to the top of your OnBarUpdate():

if (Historical) return;
