SetProfitTarget() in Initialize(), OnStartUp(), or OnBarUpdate()

[bayofislands]

Why is it suggested that SetProfitTarget (example only) be called from Initialize() where it may run more than once rather than OnStartUp() if it is to be static?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

You can put a static SetProfitTarget in either place - the only reason the docs mention Initialize() is because this is an auto generated event handler that everyone should have access to in their strategy. Otherwise a user would need to add OnStartUp() and could potentially not be familiar with this method.
