Bug: Open in Strategy Analyzer Tab causes Optimization to run again

[wzgy0920]

If you support this bug report, please voice your opinion in this thread, this way NT can include your vote and hopefully increase the priority to fix the issue faster.

Version: 8.1.3.0

Issue: If you right click an optimization result and click on Open in Strategy Analyzer, the new tab opens and re-runs the Optimization. See screenshot below for steps to replicate the issue.

Expected behavior: Right clicking an optimization result should run a Backtest on the selected result in a new tab. This is what used to occur on previous versions of Ninjatrader.

NT, please fix this issue fast and release an update. Please don't have us wait months to fix the issue. This bug should be a high priority. Furthermore, I want to re-emphasize related bugs/feature request related to Strategy Analyzer, Optimization and Backtest as listed below

Feature request: Cache Optimization results, don't re-run Backtest during analysis

Feature request: Single objective Optimization with multiple constrained metrics

Feature request: Option to run Backtest on a select strategy from Strategy tab

Feature request: Additional metrics for sorting in results column of Optimization

Feature request: Ability to pause/resume Optimization

Usability and performance improvements to Strategy Analyzer

Please fix this soon. The Strategy Analyzer is practically useless because of this issue in the latest 8.1.3.0 release.

Please, add my vote also for this. Is an urgent matter also for us, vendors, to have this working.

Have a nice day

Dear NinjaTrader_ChelseaB,

Good morning. Today it seems to work for me randomly, just tried to open a backtest from an optimization by mistake and it worked. I did not modify anything from the platform's code in this case.

Have a nice day,
Joia (vendor:trader-algoritmico)

Hi Joia_

More information about this issue at the link below. I could never get this to work in 8.1.3.0 regardless if I attempted to open a new tab or separate Strategy Analyzer from the upper panel or bottom log without it triggering a re-optimization.

Latest Version, Can't open optimized result without rerunning optimization. Annoying - NinjaTrader Support Forum

Hopefully, this important feature will be reinstated in the next release.

I think this issue is now fixed in v8.1.3.1. Now, it would be great if NT can expedite the feature request below.
