decimal points in strategy builder

[Bert1995]

Hello I have a very short and quick question. In strategy builder in the input screen I can only put whole numbers in but I want to use numbers with a decimal point for a Psar indicator to optimize. I see a dropdown box with bool, double, string, int, time but have no idea what that means but I think there lays the answer to my problem. Can someone help me and explain to me to use numbers with a decimal point and also what bool, double, string, int, time mean.

thanks a lot

Hello Bert1995,

Thanks for your post.

A bool is a true/false variable, an int is an integer that cannot have decimal values, a double is a variable that can have decimal values, time is a DateTime variable that holds time, and a string holds text.

You can create a double user input and use it for the Parabolic SAR's Acceleration, AccelerationMax, and AccelerationStep properties.
