Strategy trade plots, how to show real trades and not 'back trades'

[DoctorDirty132]

When I apply and enable a new strategy to a chart it shows trades that would have happened had the strategy been enabled. How can I show just trades that were actually executed by the strategy on the chart?

Hello,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

If you want your strategy to only show/perform trades on live data you could add a check for historical data and if it is processing historical data then to return until it is no longer historical data. In the OnBarUpdate() method you could add:

if (Historical) return; // Only process live or market replay data.

Thank you for the reply. I think I've been able to achieve what I want by running the strategy from the Strategy tab in the Control Center. In the future if I need to do it another way I will implement the code you referenced.
