8.1.4.1 update not saving time frame on strategy analyzer

[zagier]

I see the video, thank you. The default template is helping in that scenario, however I'm still finding scenarios where it occurs. I'm still confused because this never happened before the latest update.

It just now occurred again on an optimization run (that took 1.5hrs) where I had it set to 1600 tick, changed some of the parameter ranges, and then when the run was done it showed 1 min again and it had run on 1 min timeframe instead of the 1600 tick. This has happened a few times over the past two weeks, I haven't narrowed down the exact scenario to replicate the behavior though.

Hello zagier,

Below is a link to a video showing a default template being saved and then compiling.

Using the exact steps shown in the video the behavior on your end is different than what is shown in the video?

This continues to happen even after saving a default template again. Continually defaulting timeframe back to 1 minute. It did not occur until this latest update. Can you get a bug posted, or see if you can at least recreate it?

Occurring on just leaving the window open for awhile too (I ran an optimization and when it was done it had changed to 1 min even though I ran on 1600 tick)

Hello thafuz,

This has been the case since NinjaTrader 8 was in beta back in 2016.

Another tip that's somewhat releated, OnWindowCreated() and OnWindowDestroyed() from any addons will also run when you compile. This allows any menu items to be properly updated.

Hi NinjaTrader_ChelseaB,
Has this always been the case? For some reason, I am experiencing the same issue, but I don't remember this happening in version 8.1.3.1. I am currently on version 8.1.4.1. Thank you for your time.

Hello zagier,

The issue would be compiling.

When compiling this will terminate the instances used to populate the Strategy Analyzer and will reload new cloned instances.

If you would like your settings to remain after compiling, save a default template.

After setting the settings, click template > click save > click Save as Default.


Note, as long as your are not compiling, the Strategy Analyzer settings will be retained when duplicating the window or closing and opening the workspace.

Below is a link to a video that demonstrates.

I upgraded to version 8.1.4.1 and now the strategy analyzer is not saving the chosen time frame when duplicating in a new window or after saving / closing and reopening a workspace or after recompiling a strategy - this last one is particularly frustrating. I use a 1600 tick time frame and it keeps defaulting back to a 1 minute time frame.
