Access Input Series name in SetDefaults

[HypoXic5665]

Hello,

I am trying to default some strategy parameters when creating a new strategy based on the asset. I am aware that we can not get the instrument name until the DataLoaded state. Is there a way to access the Input series name under the Data Series tab of the strategy in the SetDefaults state?



Thank you,

Hello HypoXic5665,

There is not a way to work with the data series inside of SetDefaults, that property would need to be selected by the user. If there is only one data series on the chart the input series would select that, if there is more than one available input the first is default selected otherwise whatever the user selects is used.

Thank you for the reply,

Is there a way to just get the name of the defaulted selected input series in set defaults?

Hello HypoXic5665,

At that point the defaults are set for the UI dialog and not passed to your strategy instance, the chart is providing the grid with the series it has. Those aren't known to the strategy at that point, once you apply it then it would know about the series being used. Can you provide more specific detail on what you are trying to accomplish?

Hello,

I am trying set default strategy parameters based on the input series that the strategy is being tied to. I would like this to populate when the user first starts customizing the strategy so that they can see the recommended inputs for that asset. I can do this in the DataLoaded, but would be misleading to the user as it would be changing variables after they applied it. From what your outlineing, it doesn't seem that this is possible. That is fine, I am just trying to take some tedious processes and fat finger errors out of adding strategies to charts.


Thank you,

Hello HypoXic5665,

This would be more of a situation to create templates for those the supported asset classes used and then select the template while applying the strategy.

Ok.

Thank you for your input.
