New Features Progress

[bayofislands]

Where on this site can you keep abreast of the status of new features you have included for future development. I'm interested in these two:

"Templates for Automated Strategies is on our list of possible future enhancements and is assigned to ID# 50"

"Adding the ability to count the number of ticks in a historical bar is on our development team's list of future considerations tracked using ID #1280"

Thanks.

Hello bayofislands,
Thanks for you note.

Unfortunately you cannot track the feedback list as it is only maintained internally. We list all our changes in the release note. You can refer to our release note from here

Unfortunately this gives end users no idea of when or whether a specific feature will be implemented, which is fair enough minutes after an accepted suggestion; but months down the line without feedback leads to certain dissonance of feeling towards the product. Lets take "Templates for Automated Strategies", tracking ID #50; currently there is no way to save different versions of a strategies parameter settings. For one client I have a strategy with over 100 parameters, so there are currently two versions of the strategy one for backtesting/optimising the parameters and one that reads from a user specified file to set all parameters. The parameters set by file are done within the Initialize() method rather than OnStartUp() because the parameters are required to add many indicators/plots etc to charts which should/need to be called from Initialize() despite the fact that the file opening/reading process would ideally be called from OnStartUp() as Initialize() does indeed read the parameter file more than once even though global flag set to try to limit it otherwise; it works, just not in a sleep soundly manner.
