Store price, Green lines, and Backtest Optimization

[Faspomy]

hello,,

having three issues:

1. I want to store a price. For example:

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]{[/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]startPrice = Position.AvgPrice;[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]}[/FONT][/SIZE]
[/SIZE][/FONT]

This doesn't seem to work.
How do I store the current price ?



2. I am getting green comment lines next to parameters that I've added. Later, the green lines are also next to the code containing the paramters. This seems to be affecting the strategy's performance, as if these commands are being ignored.

How do I ensure that these are not being ignored ?





3. The parameters I've added manually are not showing-up in the Parametres tab in the Backtest Optimizer. Instead, they show-up under the Misc tab, and cannot be optimized.

How do I make sure that these parameters are listed under Parameters instead of Misc ?

Hello Faspomy,

Thank you for your post.

May I test your code on my end? Or do you have a toy version of the code I can test on my end?

If you would like you can send the file to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com with 'ATTN: Patrick - 839353' in the subject line and a reference to this thread in the body of the e-mail: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=57611

I look forward to your response.

1. The current price is Close[0]. You cannot store the average price of a position that is flat, because a flat position means that a position does not exist.

2. You have to compile the code before it will be reflected.

3. Specify a GridCategory for the parameters. For examples, look into the code of existing indicators/strategies that have parameters.
