Complex properties/parameters

[Buthus]

Settings for complex properties are not saved/used.

Property code:

    private OrderParameters _orderParameters = new OrderParameters();
 
    [Category("Order Handling")]
    [Gui.Design.DisplayName("ATM Parameters")]
    public OrderParameters ATMParameters
    {
        get { return _orderParameters; }
    }

Part of the OrderParameters class code:

    [TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))]
    public class OrderParameters
    {
        private int _profitTarget = 0;
        private int _stopLoss = 0;
        private bool _simulateStopOrders = false;
 
        private AutoBreakeven  _autoBreakeven = new AutoBreakeven();
        private List<AutoTrail> _autoTrail = new List<AutoTrail>(3);
 
        [Description("Gets or sets the initial stop loss.")]
        [Category("Parameters")]
        public int StopLoss
        {
            get { return _stopLoss; }
            set { _stopLoss = value; }
        }
 
        [Description("Gets or sets the profit target.")]
        [Category("Parameters")]
        public int ProfitTarget
        {
            get { return _profitTarget; }
            set { _profitTarget = value; }
        }
 
        [Description("Indicates whether to simulate stop orders.")]
        [Category("Parameters")]
        public bool SimulateStopOrders
        {
            get { return _simulateStopOrders; }
            set { _simulateStopOrders = value; }
        }
 
        [Category("Parameters")]
        public AutoBreakeven AutoBreakeven
        {
            get { return _autoBreakeven; }
        }
 
        public override string ToString()
        {
            return string.Format("SL: {0}{1}, TP: {2}", _stopLoss, _simulateStopOrders ? " (simulated)" : "", _profitTarget);
        }
    }

All settings for the property ATMParameters are lost when I start the strategy, instead the default values are used (in this case SL:0, TP:0, ...). Any workaround?

Another issue is, that these values are not optimizable. Hopefully this will be changed soon.

NT only supports the parameters types supported by the strategy wizard (double/int/bool/string). Anything else is not supported and may or may not work.

Hello Dierk,

is there any method that is called after the properties dialog is closed, so that I can store the settings and load them again when the strategy is actually started?

Unfortunately this is beyond what we could provide support for.
