Historical flag always set to true

[rajan.jedi]

For some reason Historical flag is always set to true in OnBarUpdate method of my strategy.

Here is a printout where Current time is 8:20 am 1/22, Time[0] is old but the Historical flag is set to true.

2015-01-22 08:20:57.4913 INFO MD, Time[0], 1/20/2015 1:36:00 AM, Input[0], 118.455, Historical, False

I created another simple strategy simply to print out the Historical flag and here it works as advertised. Here is the output from the test strategy.

SystemTime, 01/22/15 8:17:22.948 A, MD, Time[0], 1/19/2015 5:38:00 PM, Input[0], 117.631, Historical, True

I checked my strategy to see if I am accidentally setting this flag and I am not.

Any thoughts on what would be causing this? Some combination of flags and/or position tracking that could be causing this behavior?

Thanks

Hello Rajan,

Thank you for your note.

Is the 1/20/2015 the last bar you have for the chart?

Are you running market replay, backtest, or live data on a chart?

Hi Cal,

The answer is no. There are several others and it does start to stream live data eventually.

Attached a log file.

Let me know if you see it. Eventually it does become realtime but the Historical Flag is always set to false not matter what.

The code for the log output is follows:

string.Format("MD, Time[0], {0}, Input[0], {1}, Historical, {2}"
, Time[0], Input[0], Historical);

----
I am running this from the strategies tab.

screenshot attached.

Rajan,

Is this a multseries script?

Would it be possible to get the script to test on my end?

[rajan.jedi]

I can't give you the script. It is multiseries. I add a 15 minute bar using Add(PeriodType.Minute, 15)

Let me know if I can try/do something that will give you more information.

Rajan,

Are you checking that there are enough bars loading for your needs in OnBarUpdate()?

if(CurrentBars[0] < BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] < BarsRequired) return;

Also, can you get a toy version of the script that is replicating this same issue? No orders, just prints for this

[rajan.jedi]

I am not checking BarsRequired. I don't know why this is an issue though. No matter how many days of historical data I get, it always comes with Historical flag set to false (as you should be able to see) from the log.
