Run code only in real-time

[AnotherTrader]

Hi,

I have some web scraping code in OnBarUpdate of an indicator that I only want to run when the indicator is running in real-time, not in backtest.

How do I ensure that code is run only in real-time?

Hello AnotherTrader,

Thanks for your post.

encapsulate the code with a check of state.Realtime.

if (State == State.Realtime)
{
// web scrapy stuff here
}
