Hello kiss987,

Thank you for the post.

You can find descriptions of each of the new states here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...=OnStateChange

As far as which is comparable, if you are trying to execute code once Configure, Historical or DataLoaded would likely be good choices. There are now more states to give programmers a more granular approach to creating add-ons.

You may also find the code-breaking changes guide helpful: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ng_changes.htm

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you for your reply

Transition is also a state which called once, correct?

Hello kiss987,

Thank you for the post.

Yes, that is correct, a majority of the states will only be called once and are generally each for specific purposes in the platform. For your code, most of the time it doesn't matter which state you place your code in unless that code requires a specific state or a specific time when it is run.

Generally, I suggest thinking through what you need to do overall and then compare that to the help guide descriptions of the states to see where your idea best fits in. Everyones code will be different so these just give developers more options for initializing code.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
