semi automatic trading script

[federicoo]

Hello,

I'm coding a strategy just to manage positions. I will open this only when I want to enter to market, and close when this exit the positions. The problem is that when I open the strategy on chart, this initially try to operate the past data of the chart and make a sort of historic run. This is not desired, because this change some variables that I need with initialized values at the beginning of the script.

In resume, I would like to know if I can avoid this historical run of the strategy, so the strategy start to run just with the current data, the data which is in the current bar as I open the strategy, it should be the start bar, not to try to run on past bars.

Thanks

Hello federicoo,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, you can skip processing the historical bars by adding this in your onBarUpdate():

if (State == State.Historical) return; // return if not real time.
