Optimization

[pman777]

I have a strategy that I want to optimize. I load my strategy in the Strategy Analyzer and select Backtest type "Optimization". All of my strategy paramters show up but not all of them can can be edited to define a range to test. What am i missing? thanks

Hello pman777,

Is this a script you have written yourself or one that you have imported?

If this is a script you have imported, have you reached out to the original vendor or author of the script for assistance with their software?

If this is a script you have written yourself, what is the object type of these values?
Are these integers or doubles?

Are you using the NinjaScriptProperty attribute?

Hi Chelsea, I wrote the strategy ... the specific value in question is an integer

Hello pman777,

What is the code used to the declare the public value?
Please include all attribute tags.

[pman777]

public int checkBars = 12;


[Display(Name="Evaluate Bars", Description="", Order=1, GroupName="1. Fractals")]
public int CheckBars
{
get { return checkBars; }
set { checkBars = Math.Max(1, value); }
}

Hello pman777,

I noticed you did not answer my last question in post #2.
'Are you using the NinjaScriptProperty attribute?'

I looks like you did not answer this because the answer is no.

Try using the NInjaScriptProperty attribute.

Also, with NinjaTrader 8 we use the Range() attribute with integers now.
