Optimization Test

[ark321]

I was trying to do an optimization back test. Any idea how do I make some of these parameters optimized (see example below) ? I saw them once with options to min,max and increment and now can't see it. Are there any settings?

Hello ark321,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to make user-defined inputs instead of variables for the parameters you would like to optimize.

Are you using the [NinjaScriptProperty] Attribute for the parameters you would like to optimize?

The NinjaScriptPrperty Attribute determines if the following declared property should be included in the NinjaScript object's constructor as a parameter.

Something you could consider is using the Strategy Builder to created user-defined inputs on the Inputs and Variables screen. Then, you could click the 'View code' button to see the generated code used to create these user-defined inputs.

See the help guide page below for more information.

Thanks for your reply. This is what I have for Target 1 (in the example screen shot above).


[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Description("")]
[Range(0,Int32.MaxValue)]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Profit Target 1", GroupName = "Profit Targets", Order = 6)]
public int ProfitTarget1
{
get;set;
}

Am I missing anything? I still do not see this as optimized parameter

Hello ark321,

Thanks for your note.

I have created a user-defined input for ProfitTarget1 in a test strategy in the Strategy Builder and clicked the 'View code' button to see the generated code. See below.

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Range(0, int.MaxValue)]
[Display(Name="ProfitTarget1", Order=3, GroupName="Parameters")]
public int ProfitTarget1
{ get; set; }

When this strategy is added to a Strategy Analyzer window, I do see the property available for optimization. See the attached screenshots.

Please create a user-defined parameter in the Strategy Builder Inputs and Variables screen, click the 'View code' button to see the generated code, and then copy that user-defined input into your strategy and add the strategy to the Strategy Analyzer.

Let us know if we may assist further.
