checking for trade name in optimizer

[uday12]

I have a Unmanaged trade strategy, whose trades appear in the Backtest named as either "Sell", or "Buy", or "Exit on close".

Suppose I want to write my own custom optimization function


public override double GetPerformanceValue(SystemPerformance systemPerformance)
{

....

double numTrades = systemPerformance.AllTrades.Count;

....

for (int i = 0; i < numTrades-1; i++)

{

Trade t1 = systemPerformance.AllTrades[i];

// calculate something where the logic is different if t1 had

// "Exit on Close" event to close the trade

}

....

}


To check in the above code if Trade t1 had an "exit on close", should I use t1.Exit.Name, or should I use t1.ExitExecution.Name ?

Thanks

Hello uday12,

Thank you for writing in.

Exit.Name is the documented property for a Trade object: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt7/?trade.htm

This will obtain the name of the execution of the exit.
