Optimization/Backtest state

[mballagan]

I have a strategy which logs to a file during a backtest. During parameter optimization of the strategy I would like to disable the logging. I realize I could have two versions of the strategy but is there a way I can check the current state as 'State ==Optimization or State == Backtest' to enable/disable the necessary code?

Hello mballagan,

Thanks for your post.

I would suggest just adding a user input (bool) that you can simply check off when you do or don't want your logging when you apply the strategy.

There is an undocumented way to check for optimization but we cannot guarantee its performance. Please see Post#2 here: https://ninjatrader.com/es/support/f...ion#post696223
