int data can't be specified as negative

[ssg10]

Hi,

I have a parameter in strategy that is a signed integer (int) , but then in strategy analyzer, i can't enter negative value in the optimize box, such as -4. Why is this? Any workaround?

Hello ssg10,
I am glad to help you.

The integer(int) has a Minimum value assigned to it, like the int cannot be less than 1 etc.

so a code will look like this

[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public int MyInput0
{
       get { return myInput0; }
       set { myInput0 = [COLOR=Red]Math.Max(1, value)[/COLOR]; }
}

In the above code, the int value cannot be less than 1 (one).

To change the same you just remove the Math.Max part. So a modified code of the above will be like

[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public int MyInput0
{
       get { return myInput0; }
       set { myInput0 = [B][COLOR=Blue]value[/COLOR][/B]; }
}

the above will let you put in any value.

If you have coded the strategy via the wizard, then please edit the same. In the User Defined Inputs box, assign a value like -9999 (mind the minus) in the Min field of the said int parameter.

Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Regards,
Joydeep.
