Using the NT wizard is there a way to flat all the positions taken before I open the strat whenever the time of the opening, so that it does not continue to trade positions taken before I open the strategy?
Many Thanks,
Nicolas

Set it to "Wait until Flat" to make sure that once you add a strategy to a chart, the strategy will not open a new position until it is flat. In other words, if the strategy "should have been" long 5 bars before you added it to the chart, this will prevent it from thinking it is long and thus royally screwing up your account and getting out of sync.
Cool man! Thanks for this. I was wondering as well what is the function in the wizard to close the strategy when a certain PnL has been reached. I am asking because I noticed that even if you code that it should exit long or short positions when PnL is inferior or superior to a certain value, it continues to place trades and immediately close them afertwards. This will be my last enquiry, promised!
I've never used the wizard, but to my knowledge you can't do that in the wizard. There are plenty of examples of code on how to do this on the forum, you'll need to learn to code C# directly and forget the wizard.
I am trying to backtest the StochVolTrigger using Strategy wizard to create a simple buy/sell orders. Can someone tell me how I can use the NT wizard to automate a buy or sell when this indicator paints a green or red dot on the chart.
