"Exit on close" not disabled

[traderjh]

Hello,

I wanted "Exit On Close" to be disabled and I coded below

protected override void Initialize()
{
ClearOutputWindow();
TraceOrders = true;
ExitOnClose = false;
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
.....

During execution, strategy positions still get closed with "Exit on close" message on the charts at the end of session. Can you tell me why the "ExitOnClose = false" code still is being ignored?

Thanks for your reply.

traderjh, did you compile those changes in by hitting F5 after making your code changes and then starting a new instance of the strategy? When you check the parameters of the running strategy, what would be shown for the instance running for ExitOnClose?

Yes, I did hit F5 on editor to compile the code then I hit F5 on the chart to reload the strategy. I opened the strategy parameter window and it still says "Exit on close = true". I made sure to select the strategy to show the parameters. Is there something I overlook?

Thanks,

Would you see the same if you readded the strategy completely fresh, so a complete new instance would be used?

Ah... After fiddling around and found a way to make it work is to completely remove the strategy from the parameter window then click on New button. It now shows "False". So it looks like I have to remove strategy from each chart and hit New to install it after compiling.

I hope there is a better way. Is there any? I use control center to disable and enable strategy for each chart to reload the strategy. That doesn't change from True to False at Exit on close.

As this property is set in Initialize, you have to remove and re-add to recall these settings after changing.
