Run strategy once.

[kashmiami]

I want to run a strategy only once. I tried to create a variable & use it as a flag to set it to true once the trade is taken. It works as expected except it is taking the one trade using historical data instead of real time as I was hoping for. I was testing this using Playback connection.
Is there any other way to run a strategy only once, when it is enabled.
Cheers!

Hello kashmiami,

You can add a state check to make it work only in realtime.

if(State == State.Realtime)
{

}

If you are using the strategy builder the state can be found under
Left: Misc -> Current State
Center: Equals
Right: Misc -> State -> Realtime

This works, thank you!
