Strategy buying when not suppose to

[AdeptistJune]

Hello,

Why when you turn on the strategy, and it's instantly in an open historical position, and when it exits that historical position, the strategy buys me in?

Hello AdeptistJune,

That sounds like the normal way a strategy works, it first processes historical bars and enters orders/positions historically. If the strategy uses Wait until flat start behavior it would wait for your exit condition to exit the historical position and then begin working live. If the strategy then buys in once its in realtime that would indicate the condition to trade was true at that time.

Hello, Jesse,

Okay. That makes sense. I was just curious.
