Custom indicator causing memory issue during Optimization.

[ErikHR1969]

I have a custom indicator that uses Draw.Rectangle when if finds a signal. I was optimizing a strategy that uses the indicator and I kept running out of memory. I memory profiled Ninjatrader during the Optimization and I was accumulating Rectangles and other GUI objects. To fix the problem I added a Debug property to the indicator and when I am optimizing I set it to false, so the indicator does not draw rectangles. This fixed the problem. I am wondering what is the BKM (best known method) for dealing with this sort of issue?

Thanks,
Erik

Hello, thanks for writing in. You can use this code to determine if the script is running in the strategy analyzer in Optimization mode so you do not have to manually set a debug flag:

 if(Optimizer != null && IsInStrategyAnalyzer)
Print("in optimization");​
