Vendor strategy configuration files

[tradetree]

I am interesting in learning what the best practices are for developing a system to be deployed to other users. In particular, I'm interested in how to setup configuration files for a deployed strategy that holds parameters that you don't want in the normal Strategy:Parameters list. In other words, you may have a log file directory where your system stores its own log files. Instead of passing the directory in via the Strategy:Parameter, you want to put this into a file that is distributed with the strategy.

Is there a standard process for this, or do I just create and read in my own configuration files into my strategy?

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

The only document we have on best practices for commercial distribution is here. As far as a custom config file you would simply need to create your own file interface for this if you do not want these settings saved in the Parameters section when you apply the indicator or strategy.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
