Backtest/Optimization/Walk-Forward Default Parameter Settings

[Shogun SunTzu]

Many parameters which appear in the Backtest, Optimization, and Walk-Forward dialogs are settable within a strategy, such as 'Slippage', 'Min. bars required', etc.
Among the user settings, they will default to their respective settings as specified within the strategy as well.

Is there any way to set defaults within the strategy for the parameters in the "Time frame" section of these dialogs, or the "Min.", "Max.", and "Increment" values of the user settings in the Optimization and Walk-Forward dialogs ?

Unfortunately not.

I'd certainly love to see these configurable from the strategy as well. Another (almost as nice) alternative is to remember the setting per strategy between NT application sessions (between app shutdown and restart), so I don't have to change it each time. I've got strategies that only work on certain bar sizes, fill types, etc. and there is no reason to ever have those properties set to anything else, but I still have to change it each time I start NT.

Thank you for the suggestion. We will put it on our list of future considerations.
