Hello jkpdon,

The first two lines in OnBarUpdate in the script:

// Make sure this strategy does not execute against historical data
if (State == State.Historical) return;

Have you contacted the original author snaphook for assistance with their software?

Thanks Chelsea. That makes sense.

How do you backtest it? or you cant ?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello jkpdon,

The script is designed to return historically. It cannot be backtested. Please contact the original author for more information about how their software is meant to work.

Any update on this? I looked it at it, and I respect that he doesn't want it backtested, but I can't switch instruments when I go to edit the strategy. Any fix?

To confirm, you are unable to change the instrument on a chart when running the strategy?
Does the strategy disable and not re-enable?
Does the chart not change instruments?

If you remove the instance of the strategy from the chart Strategies window, then change the instrument, then add a new instance of the strategy are you able to enable the new instance?
