Do I have to <Finish> and close strategy builder every time to try a small tweak?

[Holligoly]

While I am backtesting I find it very annoying to have to reopen the strategy builder each time I have to make even the smallest tweak. Is there a way it can stay open till I am done with that strategy?

Hi Holligoly,
Try using "Compile" instead, which will be confirmed by "Strategy created successfully".
This will leave the StrategyBuilder open. Changes will be available/visible in the Strategy Analyzer.
To test this, open your strategy in the analyzer, then in the Strategy Builder (SB). Just add a new input field, e.g. ABC (int) to your strategy in the SB, then hit compile. The new "ABC" field should show up automatically in the Strategy Analyzer (perhaps with a slight delay of a few secs, but faster than to always reload the strat from SB).
