Strategy remains yellow after 15 mins?

[greed999]

What have I done wrong?

Somtimes it starts instantly and turns green in seconds, sometimes remains yellow for 15 mins or for a half of an hour... how can I fix this?

Hi greed999, it depends if there's a historical strategy position it waits to get flat from or not - here are all the states explained - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...egies_tab2.htm

Well, actually I don't use any historical data... It doesn't allow me to set 'days to load' parameter to 0... Does it mean that strategy has to load one day? 'min bars required' is set to 0 also... Can I avoid the delay?

If you do not want to deal with historical calcs on OnBarUpdate() calls you could simply call OnBarUpdate() only for realtime data going forward, here's how:

And thats all? In order to prevent script from hanging during startup I just need to add

if (Historical) return;

into OnBarUpdate() procedure before my main code?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Correct, you would then see no historical position or backtesting, just a strategy that will process logic after the first realtime bar is seen.

Bertrand, you are the best :-)
