strategy analyzer optimization issue, parameter optimization not available

[onnb1]

hi all

I am working on a strategy in strategy analyzer. I can run a backtest fine.
When I switch to the optimizer, I am not seeing the little triangles to set the parameter range (min/max/increment).

Any clue why this might be?

Hello onnb1,

Thanks for your post.

For the strategy to be optimized, you would need to have public properties of what specifically you want to optimize.

For example, test the SampleMACross over strategy in the optimizer. Note that in the user interface it exposes the period for the fast and slow moving averages, which can be optimized because in the strategy they are created as public properties.

Thanks for the follow up Paul.
I am able to get it to work but have a follow up question for you.


My strategy properties were all public.
I had a look at the SampeMACross and the difference is in the decorator like this one here

[Range(1, int.MaxValue), NinjaScriptProperty]

I added the above to my strategy and the optimization now works fine.
So my question is for a property to available for optimization, it must
1. Have a range defined and
2. Be public

Hello onnb1,

Thanks for your reply.

For optimization you only need it to be a public property AND the [NinjascriptProperty] attribute.

The range is not a requirement.
