Changing Data Series On Chart

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello quinton77,

Thanks for your post.

You can modify your strategy so that it has a "start date" that it would look for before processing any data. I've attached an example of this that you can test with. The example provides an input where you can select the strategy start date. To prove, the strategy will print to the Tools>output window The date/time of each bar indicates that the strategy would process that bar (based on the start date). The default start date would be the day you apply the strategy ( a default was needed).

To test, apply the strategy to a chart, set the strategy start date to be some day within the charts range of dates, observe in the output window the verifying prints.

Hello everyone,,

I have noticed that when I set a custom data range on my charts, it will maintain the same number of days (span) for the series. But the reason I use the custom range is to maintain the same start date. It will update the end date, but then changes the start date to maintain the same span. I don't know if this is a bug, or if there is a setting I can change, but this is not what I want for my strategy. I want the start date to remain fixed and the end date to update to the current day as it already does.

Is there a way to fix this? Am I doing something wrong? If there is a way to ensure the strategy overrides the chart and always starts on a specific date, I'm ok with taking that approach too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
quinton.
