How To Ignore Previous Signals When Enabling Auto Strategy

[Trader5012]

Hi NinjaTrader/All

When using strategy builder and having it take entries on signals, how do I get the strategy to ignore previous signals before going flat?

So whats happening is, if I enable the strategy or disable it and then re-enable it, it waits for the previous signal to hit either its profit target or stop if there was a previous signal (before turning green from yellow in the control panel) and then looks for the next signal.

So if im waiting for a setup, I see one, enable the strategy, if the previous signal hasnt gone flat it doesnt take the new signal and entry that I was waiting for.

So in a nut shell, what can I use within strategy builder to ignore all previous signals when I enable the strategy?

Please note that im not a coder and am only using strategy builder.

Thank you

Hello Trader5012,

From the description it sounds like you are asking to exclude historical trades. You can do that by adding a state check to your conditions. In the builder you can do that by making the following condition:

Left: Misc -> Current State
Center: Equals
Right: Misc -> State -> Realtime
