Rewind to specific Bar

[RedDuke]

Hello,

I wonder if this is possible. Let's say I loaded a daily chart, and processed first 3 months (roughly 90 bars as each bar is a day). Right now my current bar is April 1. Is there any way to rewind the chart back, so that current bar becomes March 1?

Thanks,

Hello RedDuke,

Thanks for your post.

The only way would be to reload your Ninjascript.

If you can clarify what you want to accomplish, perhaps I can suggest an alternative.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for you reply, can reload be done programmatically? Here is what I am trying to do. Let's say I enter Long on March 1, and a trade gets closed at some point in March, now I want to see what would have happened if I entered Short on March 1. Essentially I want to go back and try something else for a particular month that I already processed.

Thanks,

Hello RedDuke,

Thanks for your reply.

There is no means to programmatically reload Ninjascript.

What we suggest is using the Playback Connection with market replay data and use the "goto" feature to return to the specific start date.

Thanks I was hoping for rewind chart feature via code

Another question, let's say I load 5 years of data, and then at some point during 2nd year I no longer care to finish indicator run. Is there any way to stop running it? Or do I need to let indicator to finish processing all years?

Hello RedDuke,

Thanks for your reply.

I am assuming the context here is a chart and not the strategy analyzer.

You could add a button to the chart that you could click and have the script continue without processing its code below the return line. To clarify

if (mybuttonClicked) return; // don't process code below this line once clicked
