Setting defaults for a strategy

[dom993]

Hi there,

I am getting annoyed to see the Backtest window reset a bunch of settings at every opportunity ... is there a way for a strategy to define its own "preferred" settings for the following:

- Data series type & value (it defaults to Minute / 1, I would like my strategy to define Volume / 100 as its own default)

- HistoricalFillProcessing (it defaults to ... Default, I can't blame that and could overwrite the DefaultFillType file, however I would prefer my strategy to indicate its own default FillType)

Thanks in advance
Dominique

Dominique, please try this - set your properties as desired in the parameter window and right click in it > 'Set Default....' - this will create a strategy settings template.

Thank you so much Bertrand!

On top of that, is there a way to do it directly from the strategy script? I am asking this because I use version number as part of the strategy class name, which changes daily (sometimes multiple times in a day) during my development process, so doing it from the script would make the process fool proof.

You're welcome, unfortunately it's not possible to generate this template via code but I will add your request to our product management enhance tracking list.

You can though also set a default template from the Strategies tab in your Control Center, so once you apply a new version you could save the settings to default before enabling as well.
