how to run strategy "from now"

[andrewbee]

Hi,

I am running in simulated mode, and want a strategy to start running on price data just from the present moment onwards. If I set the "from" date to today, it complains that it has to be smaller than the "to" date. The nearest I can get is to set it to yesterday. But then it seems to get all the price data from midnight to now shoved through it to "catch up". I don't want it to catch it, I just want to run it from now. I set the minimum ticks to 0, but it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks

How about

if (Historical)
    return;

?

"Historical" property is true for "past" data and false for "realtime" data.

That ought to do it, in the absence of a way to truly run it real-time only.

Thanks

That is a "true" way to run it real-time only.
