How to stop historical trades from going off in strategy

03-18-2020, 02:41 PM

When I load my strategy on a chart with live market data I see historical trades marked off as traded even though no actual trades were taken yet. Is there a way to stop historical trades and only run from the point the strategy is loaded going forward, this is messing up the cumulative p&l check.
Thank you

Hello jeffom,

Use a return at the top of OnBarUpdate() if the State is State.Historical.

Below is a link to a forum post with example code.
