Strategy Analyzer - Optimization - Decimal steps?

[manugarc]

Is it possible to set decimal steps for double parameters? When I set them NT change them for integers, but I would need to use decimals. For example: 0,1;0,6;0,2 Isn't it possible?

Hello manugarc,

No, the Strategy Analyzer is only able to increment by 1 in an optimization.

You could instead use an integer as the input, divide this by 100 and store the value to a double.

Then as the integer input is incremented, this is calculated to a decimal.

Thank you Chelsea; That's in fact how I'm doing it, but I expected to be able to avoid it; it's not a mayor problem anyway, I'll keep it like that, as you say.

Hello ChelseaB, manugarc,

I am facing the same issue. Could you please explain your answer a bit further (an example would be extremely helpful, if at all possible)? I did not quite understand it. My Parameters for optimization are "double", and I would like to use Increment "double" value as well.

Thank you
David

Hello Paco0,

I believe what ChelseaB was suggesting was to divide the existing input you may have by 100, for example if you had an input named myInputProperty that was an int:

double myDouble = myInputProperty / 100;

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

Is it possible to do this in the strategy builder? Thanks in advance!

Hello TGUII,

It's not possible to due math easily like this in the Strategy Builder on double inputs unfortunately.

It would require more complicated logic to achieve this type of math in the builder. You could save the value of the input into a Custom series, then use offset math to divide the current value of the series by 100.
