    Determining within strategy if using Simulated Data Feed

    Is there a way, from within a strategy to determine if we are currently connected to the Simulated Data Feed?

    I use this feed to check trading logic, however while in the Simulated feed, I'd like to ignore portions of the strategy.

    i.e.

    Code:
    if (!SimulatedDatafeed)
       // I'm trading live, backtesting, or using market replay
    else
      // I'm using the simulated feed
    Thanks

    Hello lookOutBelow,

    Thank you for writing in. You can check which account connection you are connected to using the Account.Connection.Name variable. For example:
    Code:
    if(Account.Connection.Name.ToString() == "Simulated Data Feed")
    {
        //Do Something
    }
    Please let us know if you have any questions.
