Access the DateTime of when the Strategy was enabled

[cutzpr]

Is there a way I can access the DateTime when a strategy was enabled? Without having to create some variable in the (State == State.DataLoaded) or (State == State.Configure) when the strategy is first initialized.

Hello cutzpr,

Thank you for your post.

There's not a specific method for accessing the time a strategy was enabled, no. You'd want to save this value to a variable when the strategy is enabled. You could check Time[0] when State == State.Realtime in OnStateChange, or you can check DateTime.Now in a state like State.DataLoaded, but you'd still have to use a variable to store it for later access.

Here's a link to our Help Guide on manipulating DateTime objects:
