Running strategy analyzer in realtime on NT8

[mtamaku]

Hello: How do I test a strategy in Nt8 in realtime similar way it is available in Nt7 ? It only runs on historical dates. Please advise. Thanks

Hello mtamaku,

Ensure that you are receiving real-time data and that new bars are appearing on a chart.

Then add the strategy to a chart and enable this.

Ensure no errors are appearing on the Log tab of the Control Center.

Below is a link to a video that demonstrates how to enable a strategy in real-time.

If you want to know why orders are not being placed, use Print() and TraceOrders.
