Strategy Analyzer Optimizing time

[AaronKoRn]

How can I optimize the time for my strategy, like between 240min to 5min, and increments of 5min?

Hi AaronKoRn,
You can use ToTime(). How is described in the help guide.

Hello AaronKoRn,

NT-Roland is correct, the ToTime method can be used to make times into Int's. To expand on that, to make an optimization time property you would need a public int property in your script marked with the NinjaScriptProperty attribute.

[NinjaScriptProperty]
public int MyTime
{ get; set; }

That will give you the optimization parameter with min/max/increment selection.

You could then enter the start time as the minimum (70000), the start time plus 240 (110000) as the maximum and 500 as the increment. It could then increment the time by X, for example 70000, 70500, 71000, 71500 etc.

In your code you could use that input to compare with ToTime on the Time object:

if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= MyTime )
{
// Strategy logic goes here
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
