Chart displays during/after running a strategy

[dweems]

2 issues:
1. When I'm running a strategy, each order gets displayed textually twice on my chart, slightly overlapping. But when I disable to strategy, the duplicates disappear, leaving only one for each order. Is there a setting that prevents the duplicate displays?

2. When I'm running a strategy, dotted lines are drawn between an opening and closing of a trade, color coded whether a profit or loss. I like this. But when I disable the strategy, the lines disappear even though the text displays about the orders do not. Is there a way to keep those lines displayed after the strategy is disabled?

Hello dweems,

"When I'm running a strategy, each order gets displayed textually twice on my chart, slightly overlapping. But when I disable to strategy, the duplicates disappear, leaving only one for each order. Is there a setting that prevents the duplicate displays?"

When the strategy is disabled, the chart will be showing executions made on the Account selected in Chart Trader.
When the strategy is enabled, the chart will be showing executions made by the strategy.

With the strategy, are you seeing duplicates on all orders or just orders when transitioning from historical to real-time?


"Is there a way to keep those lines displayed after the strategy is disabled?"

Unfortunately, the profitable / unprofitable trade lines are only visible when a strategy is enabled.

I'm only running my strategy in real time. And only in simulation mode.

Hello dweems,

Historical data is processed before real-time data.

To confirm, you have code in your script to return in OnBarUpdate() if State is State.Historical so that no orders are placed in the historical data?

[dweems]

That is correct. I have "if (State != State.Realtime) return;"

Hello dweems,

All order executions are duplicated when the strategy is enabled, is this correct?

May I have a screenshot of the chart and a screenshot of the Strategy Performance window with the Executions display selected?

May I also confirm you are using 8.1.2.1?

[dweems]

Here they are. I'm currently using 8.1.1.6 64-bit

Hello dweems,

The second screenshot appears to be the Executions tab of the Control Center.

May I have you provide a screenshot of the Strategy Performance window (of both Historical & Real-time) with the Executions Display selected?

Also, please update to the latest release 8.1.2.1 and confirm the behavior can still be reproduced.

Here are both the displays you wanted in one file. I have updated the software to the current version and the duplicate display is still occurring while the strategy is enabled. By the way, pay no attention to the executions with respect to working properly and the Quantity. There are coding issues I will have to address.

Hello dweems,

I'm not seeing the duplicated execution markers in the screenshot from your last post.

Are you still experiencing the behavior?
Which executions in this screenshot are duplicates?

[dweems]

Sorry. I made the screenshot after the strategy was disabled. All of those executions display duplicates. But the execution list from strategy performance correctly shows only one execution. So it's only the display of the executions on the chart while the strategy is running that for some reason shows 2 texts per execution. And as you see, when I disable the strategy, all those duplicate displays disappear leaving only one each.

Hello dweems,

May I have you take another screenshot with the strategy enabled showing the issue?

Are you able to reproduce this using the SampleMACrossover included with NinjaTrader?
(This is so I can try and reproduce on my end)

What Start behavior is being used?
