Hello!
I would like to ask how to test а completed strategy based on "TradeEvent" starting point historically? Let's say, i need to open a specific order after filling a stop loss/take profit of a previous order. As i understand to start this strategy working, i will need to open the very first order manually - but how to enable it historically on testing? Or i necessarily need to fill "OnCandle" or "OnTick" starting point as well? If so, then how to enable working "OnCandle" or "OnTick" based starting point event only one time, and then switching to "TradeEvent" starting point only?
Thank you!

Greetings and welcome to the forum! :)

Well, this depends roughly on your strategy... :geek:
It seriously depends on your entry point meaning you can do it normally when having the correct signals.

Please specify what exactly do you mean.

Yes, but only if you are using the TradeEvent Starting point.

Well, during past two days i've got into VJF more and found the answer.
To enable OnTick event only one time i can either use switch with boolean true or faulse, or use OpenPositions < 1.
Thanks for replay anyway!
