The problem
To keep a specific ChartScript from executing right after it is opened, in Wealth-Lab Developer/Pro V4 you were placing
{$NO_AUTO_EXECUTE} in your ChartScript; usually at the top. Wealth-Lab Developer/Pro 6 lacks this directive.
The approach
Note: if you open a Strategy with no particular symbol highlighted in the DataSets tree, the Strategy won't execute anyway.
Since there was user demand for that missing directive, here's a simple workaround. If you construct your script like the Example below shows, then it will not execute after opening
for the first time (even if you had a symbol highlighted in the DataSets tree). The next time you run the Strategy, it will continue executing as usual.
Code example
Note the placement of NO_AUTO_EXECUTE: it should be declared as class variable, prior to the Execute method.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using WealthLab;
using WealthLab.Indicators;
namespace WealthLab.Strategies
{
public class MyStrategy : WealthScript
{
bool NO_AUTO_EXECUTE = true;
protected override void Execute()
{
if( NO_AUTO_EXECUTE ) goto halt;
else goto go;
halt:
{
NO_AUTO_EXECUTE = false;
return;
}
go:
// YOUR STRATEGY CODE GOES HERE
DrawLabel( PricePane, "Executed" );
}
}
}
