how to optimize a strategy on time of day

[qewcool]

is there a way to optimize a strategy in the strategy analyzer by changing the time (hour, minutes) of day ?

ie gives which time of day a strategy performs max net profits for example and which settings is best for that time of day ?

I see there is the option in the strategy anylyzer to see results compiled by time of day and to see the profit/loss distribution graph based on the time of day as well

but how to automatize the process in the optimizer to test all the parameters for each hour/minutes segment of the day

I thought of adding a datetime parameter but that seems not to be possible.

Any other workaround ?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

Right you would need to add a date time parameter to do what your looking to do, but since you cant optimize a date time parameter what you would need to do is use a switch statement or a bunch of if statement and have a parameter for time that would optimize as an example as integer 1 to 5 that would then mean a section of time you want to run on.

if(OptimizeInteger == 1)
{
//Run code for time of day
if(ToTime(Time[0]) > 000500)
{
//Your Time filter here.
}

}

Then do OptimizeInterger == 2 and change the times that are run and break down the times of day you want to test into sections.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
