Stragety WILL NOT enter when I click activate...

[tanju23]

When I go to activate a strategy it says it is already in one, how do I get the strategy to just look at what is coming in at that moment instead of history? Is there a work around for this Highly Annoying feature?

Hello tanju23,

You can include the following statement in your code to avoid the strategy to be calculated on historical data.

// Only run on real-time data
if (Historical)
return;

Add the statement to the top of OnBarUpdate()

I'm using the wizard to start with...is this a problem? When i unlock code I see this

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()

What would it look like with what you are saying to do?

[tanju23]

What do you mean by "on top"?

You will need to unlock the code in order to insert the statement. Please see the attached screenshot for an example.

I included the statement in the SampleMACrossOver strategy. It is the first statement below OnBarpdate() (to the top).

Ahhhh...thank you very much!!!!

When i try to do this i get errors. Any suggestions?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Can you please hit F5 or right click in the code window and select 'Compile'.

Let me know if the errors remain.

[tanju23]

I know its been awhile since i last posted...but i never did get to work. When i hit F5 or right click and compile, a window pops up and says error generating strategy. Is this because I'm the strategy wizard to start off with?

[tanju23]

I also just tried to duplicate the example from the sample ma cross that was posted below and it still says programming errors.

Please debug the code to solve the compiling errors. You can find general debug information at the link below.

If the issue remains, please post a new screenshot of the compiling error.
