Strategy start another strategy

[zwentz]

Say your conditions are met and you'd like to start a new strategy, for whatever reason.

I know you can disable a currently running strategy; take for instance you have two strategies called SimpleMA and ComplicatedMA and you want to disable complicated from simple.

Account.Strategies[i].Disable(); //i is the index in the StrategiesCollection of your ComplicatedMA strategy

My current code looks like the following:

Period test = new Period(PeriodType.Minute,1,MarketDataType.Last);
							DoNothing nts = new DoNothing();
							nts.Account = Acct;
							nts.SetBarsPeriodInstrument(test,position.Instrument);
							Acct.Strategies.Add(nts);
							InstrumentDictionary.Add(position.Instrument.FullName,Acct.Strategies.Count-1);
							InstrumentNames.Add(position.Instrument.FullName);

Now that disables the strategy, but there is no corresponding Enable(); or Start(); or Initialize(); function to start it, from what I can tell anyway.

Is there anyway I can do such a thing? Maybe something I'm missing?

Hello zwentz,

Unfortunately there isn't a supported method for starting strategies programatically. Strategies must be enabled by setting enabled to true from chart GUI, or checking the box in the control center.
