Hi, when we run the baktesting of our Custom Study, while replaying it, it does mix the real time trading with the historical timeframe we start the bactesting with. That creates a conflict because the system often takes an immediate position (if the custom study calls for it) and thus prevents the historical backtesting of the Custom Study since we have a maximum position open of 1 at all times and therefore prevents any further trade. How can we start the backtesting properly from the historical starting point (we always put the correct start time and date but the backtest immediately takes a position on the real time market prices and it screws the auto trade system bar based back test for us. Please help!!
