Setting Min, Max & Increment Values For Use In Strategy Analyzer

[tonyh]

Hello:

I have been trying to setup my strategy so that the Min, Max and increment values of a variable are always correct when using Strategy Analyzer. Here is the base code:

#region Variables
private int entrylong = 20; // Default EnterLong period
#endregion

#region Properties
[Description("Enter Long Period")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public int EntryLong
{
get { return entrylong; }
set { entrylong = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
#endregion

For example, how can I change above code so that the following values for a variable are initially present in Strategy Analyzer:
min: 1
max: 21
increment 2

Perhaps I need a Math.Min as well to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Tony

Hello tonyh,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately you cannot set default max, min, and incremement values for optimization. You will have to adjust these for each test you want to run.

You can set the range of acceptable values for your public properties. You have to nest Math.Max and Math.Min:

Math.Max(1, Math.Min(21, value));

Thanks Ryan. I was just trying to ensure that the parameters would reset to initial settings should I use different optimization values.
