Hello AlessioCianini12,

Thanks for your post.

I see that you have modified BarsRequiredToTrade, but since it is in State.SetDefaults, you will need to remove and re-add the script to have the new default recognized.

When BarsRequiredToTrade is set to 0, trades will be allowed starting with the first historical bar that is processed.

Some additional notes regarding your snippet:

1. You are adding a single tick Volumetric bar. Is this purposeful? It will be less expensive to use a regular single tick data series. The volumetric bar information may not be helpful on a 1 tick data series.
2. You are processing data on the 1 tick data series but are submitting orders to BarsInProgress 0 (the primary data series.) This would be less accurate with backtesting as opposed to submitting orders to the single tick data series.
3. You are tracking your own Position object from OnPositionUpdate. We would suggest using the built in Position object instead.
