# LINT_MODE_BRANCH

The code depends on the run mode, so a backtest and a live run can trade differently.

## What happened

The file reads the run mode and takes a different path for it. If that path changes what is traded, the backtest no longer describes what the strategy does live.

## What to do

Keep the trading logic the same in every mode. A branch that only changes logging or drawing is harmless, and the warning can stay.

## Example

```text
strategy.py, line 40: This code depends on the run mode. If it changes trading, a backtest and a live run trade differently. [LINT_MODE_BRANCH]
```

The wording of the message depends on your file, and the code does not. A warning does not stop the file from loading.
