Turning off strategy analyzer

[Jetpilotjohn]

Hi

Is there a way to turn off the historical (theoretical) results for a strategy so that I only see trades made by it in real time?

Hi Jetpilotjohn,

Thank you for posting.

There are two ways that you can set this up.
The first is to have this line of code in the beginning of the OnBarUpdate() Method-

if(Historical)
return;

This will ignore all historical data and will not show up in the strategy performance.

Alternatively, you can right click on the chart -> Strategy Performance -> Strategy name -> Real-Time

This will bring up a performance window with only the real-time results.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Its not actually a window. What I want to turn off is the theoretical trades being painted on the chart so that the only trades painted are the ones taken in real time

Jetpilotjohn,

You will need to add -

if(Historical)
return;

to the OnBarUpdate() method, in order for the performance to ignore the historical trades and data.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
