Initialize() VS OnStartUp()

[ttodua]

I am not much advanced progrmmer in net, and cant find out the difference between these two methods...

can anyone tell me why i should use Initilialize method at all for such stuff:


CalculateOnBarClose = true;
TraceOrders = true;
SetProfitTarget("Short_signal", CalculationMode.Ticks, 21);
....


may i move all those stuff into OnStartUp?

Hello selnomeria,

If it is Initialize() then it sets the default for property in the Indicator or Strategy window.

If it is in OnStartUp() this will not set the default and will set the value just as the script starts (and will not be changeable in the UI)
