StratAnalyser: Stopping Indicator re initialisation

[madb123]

Hello,
I have a custom indicator that reads and parses data from a text file and it works great.

The problem is that when running and optimization it reads and parses the information again and again on each iteration. is there a way to just let it reuse the same initialised indicator for each itteration?

I am aware of and i am using:
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = false;

then in state.DataLoaded i have:
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
if(myIndicator1 == null)
myIndicator1 = myIndicator(TextFile);
}

I thought the above will cause the indicator to be recycled and not reinitialised.. however it didnt work.
Thanks

Hello madb123,

You would need to move that logic into the strategy if you want to make use of IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration for your loading logic. Each optimization test will re initialize the indicator so it can process.
