Input string was not in a correct format

Thanks for input. We'll look into and will come back to you. This might take a few days, since we're on the NY TradersExpo right now.

NinjaTrader_Dierk , cheers always for your support.
Please no rush, Dierk.

I think you have proved that your product is not just a single piece of software but it is the one incorporated with excellent customer support.

But , I will add some more on this topic just try to be useful for your development team.

Actually you should not aim or compare your NT to tradestation.

When it comes to computational speed, it is actually Amibokers having the best reputation.

Have a look at following link:

I do not mind wheather NT is faster than tradestation to be honest.

But if NT is faster than Amibroker, you certainly got an edge.

I am not sure wheather you can test AmiBorker too but if you can , then it will be very interesting experiement to do.

Hope this helps and good luck with your Expo.

Cheers

check your decimal setting for your XP or Vista.

go to control ---> Region and Language

If your decimal setting is coma (",") , then change it to full stop (".").

That is how I solved my problem.

see post #6 for pics

Try this. You can set 50 steps for each moving average length parameters (they will make something over 5 million combinations)


inputs: Price( Close ), FastLength( 4 ), MedLength( 9 ), SlowLength( 18 ), Length( 9 ) ;

variables: FastAvg( 0 ), MedAvg( 0 ), SlowAvg( 0 ), Avg( 0 ) ;

FastAvg = AverageFC( Price, FastLength ) ;
MedAvg = AverageFC( Price, MedLength ) ;
SlowAvg = AverageFC( Price, SlowLength ) ;
Avg = AverageFC( Price, Length ) ;

Condition1 = Price > FastAvg and FastAvg > MedAvg and MedAvg > SlowAvg ;

if CurrentBar > 1 and Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false then
Buy ( "TestBuy" ) next bar at market ;

if CurrentBar > 1 and Price crosses under Avg then
Sell ( "TestSell" ) next bar at market ;

We checked into your NT implementation of your TS startegy and found it was not equivalent. Please find attached an updated version of your NT strategy.

Please let us know if the optimization of this strategy still would be slower than TS. Thanks

Thanks for TS equivalent code.

I tested last night.

and I have run your code with 6 milliion combinations.


Could not finished whole test although I have run for about 10 hours.


The status bar at the time indicated just little bit less than half in progress and the remaining time was about 13 hours at that time.


I guess if the remaining hours is accurate. I would say NT has almost the same processing speed as Tradestation.


Anyway thanks for your code and it was interesting experience.

Thanks for feedback.

Perhaps this can help someone else.

I was getting the message "Input string was not in a correct format" when entering data for a FXCM connection on Ninja 8.0.25.0. I tried several times with same result.

I was intrigued by the fact the same data worked on my home computer. Then I realized my home computer was set to English and my laptop to brazilian portugues.
Then I switched the laptop to English and voila! It's working.

Hello rsekkel,

Thanks for the post on this topic.

That information could in fact be quite helpful for us, I have made a note to document this item more thoroughly and test on my end.

Thank you!
