Hello, Is there a way to detect that the autotrade is processing the last bar of the simulation during Autotrade BackTest? Is there a variable that indicates that? I was unable to find that. When sc.IsReplayRunning() turns from 1 -> I would like to run the cleanup but still within the simulation. I would like to close all positions at the end of the BackTest so they add up correctly in the statistics and do a dynamic variables cleanup. Thanks! |

We some time to look into this. However, even when the back test finishes, it is fine to close out position and cancel orders at that time. Those will just simply be done according to the last Date-Time in the chart and will still apply to the same simulated Trade Account.

Yes, I am closing the positions after the simulation ends now. That works fine if the chart is up to date but if the chart ends in the past, the close price may be very far from the last bar in the chart making the stats incorrect. Having a way to do run commands at the end of simulation would help. |

Sometime ago we added this function sc.GetReplayHasFinishedStatus() which returns 1 when replay has finished.
