When backtesting against an instrument (ex. USDJPY), and selecting a strategy *other than the first default one in the properties window* the user defined properties do not change to match the selected strategy, they stay as the properties that go with the default strategy. Not clear what values are actually used when it runs.
In case this is useful info, the strategy I've selected is one that I exported from v6 and imported into v6.5_8. The properties that don't work right have been edited in code (added by the wizard originally, but edited). This might suggest an obvious code problem, however, the properties have worked in v6.
Code for properties:
variables region
privatebool noEntries = false; // Used to prevent entries on Mondays and Fridays and after hours
privatedouble trailingSLPercent = .05;
privatedouble profitTarget = 250;
privatedouble stopLoss = 25;
privateint reversalPeriod = 1;
privatedouble maxPositionProfit = 0;
privatedouble currentPositionProfit = 0;
property procedure region
[Description("Trailing stoploss percent")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicdouble TrailingSLPercent
{
get { return trailingSLPercent; }
set { trailingSLPercent = Math.Max(.05, value); }
}
[Description("Position profit target")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicdouble ProfitTarget
{
get { return profitTarget; }
set { profitTarget = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
[Description("Position stoploss")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicdouble StopLoss
{
get { return stopLoss; }
set { stopLoss = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
[Description("ReversalPeriod")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicint ReversalPeriod
{
get { return reversalPeriod; }
set { reversalPeriod = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
