Different parameters for different instruments in a backtest on a list

adamus,

SetParam() would be your own custom events. Unfortunately I would not know how you have programmed such and the relationship you have for them. What you can try is just adding Print() statements within each method and see the sequence of printouts to know what is happening in what order.

I would like to know which way round it happens. Is it the SetParamX() first and then Initialize(), or vice-versa?

SetParamX() is the property method pairing for my parameter, paramX.

public double ParamX
{
get { return paramX; }
set { paramX = Math.Max(0.1, value); }
}

I have in the meantime figured out which way around the properties and the Initialize() methods are called.

The properties methods are called last, so if I can't set the params in Initialize since the properties methods will overwrite them.

Is there another event that is called *after* the properties are set but before the historical data is processed for each run?

adamus,

You can try using the OnStartUp() method.

Thanks Josh, that does the business.
