Calling the Ticks index when optimizing

[pstrusi]

Hi Ninjas,

Maybe this question is answered very simply or it can't:

When I'm performing an optimization, the Strategy Analyzer has its own count by ticks, seconds...etc What I'd like to know is: HOW CAN I CALL INTO A CODE THE ACTUAL INTERNAL PERIOD (TICKS, SECONDS..ETC) THAT IS BEING USED EVENTUALLY IN THE OPTIMIZATION PROCESS?

Imagine for a second that I'd like to know that your code must be able to call that number to keep an internal counter, got it?

As always your attention will be appreciated.

Hello pstrusi,
You can get the bar id and bar value from the BarsPeriod object.

Please refer to our help guide to know more about it.

Hi again Ninjas,

The earlier suggestion, despite it's useful still doesn't solve what I need.

What I want is using the actual "integer number" calling Bars.Period.Id (within an optimization) to use it like this: Add("$EURUSD", PeriodType.Tick, Bars.Period.Id ) but this brings an error out.

What I need is dynamically change the sentence Add("$EURUSD", PeriodType.Tick, Bars.Period.Id ) in the Initialize section.

I imagine this can't be, so how I do a similar process? any suggestion?

Thanks

Hello pstrusi,
You can use the below code:

Add("$EURUSD", BarsPeriod.Id, BarsPeriod.Value );

However please note it is not supported and can cause unexpected results due to race conditions.
