Can i only load the last X number of historical trades?

[sofortune]

My strategy uses ticks to set stop losses based on real times. But when i load the strategy it takes a long time to load all the historical trades, so that it can determine its strategy position. Is there a way to only load the last few historical trades just so the strategy can determine the current position? I know it is possible to turn off all historical trades.

Hello sofortune,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider loading fewer days of data in the 'Days to load' property of the Data Series window if you would like the strategy to process less historical data.

For example, if you only want the strategy to process 1 day of historical data you could set the 'Days to load' property to 1 in the Data Series window.

See the 'How To Edit Data Series Parameters' section of this help guide page for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...price_data.htm

Otherwise, you could consider skipping historical processing in your strategy by adding if (State == State.Historical) return; to the top of your OnBarUpdate() logic.
