Do not close all the positions at last

Sky All 2020.05.15 06:04

Dear experienced traders,

Strategy tester will close all positions at last.

Is there any setting could let it do not close all positions at last?

Thank you in advance and best wishes,

Thank you, Jean.

Could you kindly tell me where to set it?

Thank you, Jean.

well you need to set a variable for the datetime that is the opening of the last trade and stop trading just before that date

something like:

input datetime dateLastTrade = D'2020.01.01 00:00';

void OnTick()
{
   if (TimeCurrent() < dateLastTrade)
   {

        trade
   }
}

Thank you, Jean

So, the only way is try to find out the final open date, and stop before that, right?

Not final, as in last, but earliest non-closed order's datetime.
