I think the problem here is that you need an indicator training period, before you can rely on indicators to execute trades. You should therefore code your strategy in a way that
-> indicators are trained during the first N bars
-> and that trades are only executed once the training period has been completed
I typically use two start dates. The first start date for the indicators, and then the second start date for trade execution. I have serialized the start date allowing me to enter two dates in the dialogue box for the strategy.
I am not sure if this helps answer your question, but there is a variable "CurrentBar" built into NT7. This starts out as 0 and increases with each additional bar, so a simple test could be:
if (CurrentBar<50)
return;
Put this at the start of your OnBarUpdate() function and the first time the rest of the code will be executed is on the 51st bar.
Definitely what I was after, thanks for point me in the right direction ...I probably could of figured this out myself, but I've been exhausted this week!
No problem, one of the reasons I like futures.io (formerly BMT), it saves me LOTS of time while coding. Someone on here has almost always solved the problem before me. Good luck.
