Can the strategy be used for real trading?

[51friend]

When running strategy in demo account, for example running SampleMACrossOver strategy which exists after installing NinjaTrader, it suddenly create a lot of orders which trade for history bars. It's good because it can be used for back test. But can the strategy be used for real trading? For real trading, i don't want to create any orders for history bars, only want to create order for incoming new bar or new tick. How can i know it's new bar incoming or the history bars which just need to paint when getting OnBarUpdate() call? Thanks.

Hello 51friend,

You can add a statement to OnBarUpdate() that will allow the strategy to only run on live data.

if (Historical)
return;

Clicking the link above will show you where this needs to go in the code. You cannot make changes to system strategies, but you can save a copy and modify from there. Click tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleMACrossover. Then Right Click and Select Save As to save a copy and make changes.
