Optimising on different categories

[talolard]

Hello,
I've written a startegy with many user definable variables. To keep things organised I have placed them in different categories useing code such as

[Description("DailyWave Period")]
        [Category("Basic Params")]
       
		public int TradesPerDay
        {
            get { return DayTradeLimit; }
            set { DayTradeLimit = Math.Max(0, value); }
        }

I would like to run the optimiser on some of these parameters but they are not availble to be optimised. What can I do?
Thanks
Tal

Hi Tal,

That should show up in the list of available fields to optimize. Any improvement if you remove the carriage return inbetween the xml markup and code, like:

[Description("DailyWave Period")]
[Category("Basic Params")]
public int TradesPerDay
{
     get { return DayTradeLimit; }
     set { DayTradeLimit = Math.Max(0, value); }
}

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I didn't understand the change you recomended. If its a matter of text formatting, my code is well formated but cuting and pasting change the indentation.
I'm icluding a screenshot of the optimisation window to clarify my problem. As you can see, I can not select a range for any of the parameters (M apologies, I blanked out the names as this is for a client)
Thanks,
Tal

In the snippet you posted to the forums, there is an uneccessary line there:
[Category("Basic Params")]
Remove any lines here.
public int TradesPerDay.

Is this line present in your own code?

For NT7 you'll want to use GridCategory instead.

[Description("DailyWave Period")]
[GridCategory("Basic Params")]
public int TradesPerDay
{
get { return DayTradeLimit; }
set { DayTradeLimit = Math.Max(0, value); }
}
