Realtime or strategy analyzer?

[BrianARice]

I would like to know if my strategy is running realtime or in the strategy analyzer.

Is there any way to know this?

Also, in NT 7 there was a flag called Historical that would indicate if a bar was realtime or historical... this doesn't seem to exist in NT 8. Replacement?

While I'm asking is there a good reference anywhere for "changed" things like "Historical" that explains the NT 8 alternative?

Thanks!

Hello BrianARice, and thank you for your questions.

NinjaTrader 8's NinjaScript objects are now state driven. You can learn more about NT8 States here,

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?state.htm

The available States are (emphasis mine),

• SetDefaults
• Configure
• Active
• DataLoaded
• Historical
• Transition
• Realtime
• Terminated

To determine if you would like to know if you are in the Realtime state, you would check

[FONT=Courier New]if (State == State.Realtime)[/FONT]

Similarly,

[FONT=Courier New]if (State == State.Historical)[/FONT]

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.
