Not able to use a comma in rc2

[Harvard]

Dear friends,

I have tried to optimize the parameters (backtest type: optimization) from a strategy, but there is a problem. I am not able to use a comma. Has somebody else this problem? I use the NT8 RC2 version.

Kind regards,
Harvard

Hello Harvard,

Thank you for your post.

Are you referring to using the comma to seperate the Min, Max, and Increment for properties? If so, you should use the semicolon: ;

[Harvard]

No. I really mean the comma. I am only able to use "natural numbers", no "rational numbers" like -0,5. I use the Ninja8 beta rc2 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Hello Harvard,

Thank you for your response.

What Region and Time Zone is your PC set to?

[Harvard]

Region: Berlin / Germany

Time Zone: GMT: +2:00 hours (SUMMERTIME)

but it will change on 23.10.2016 to GMT: +1:00 hours (WINTERTIME)

the developers have probably forgotten to use CultureInfo here. So it is probably expecting 'English' number format. Try using -0.5 instead of -0,5

Hello Harvard,

Thank you for your patience and for this report.

Are you able to use a comma in an indicator's settings like the Bollinger?

Can you use commas for decimals in other applications (such as Calculator) on your PC?

Hi DaveE & PatrickH,

using -0.5 instead of -0,5 doesn't work, too.
In the calculator of the PC and indicators it's possible to use commas.

Hello PatrickH,

I installed the Ninja8 rc2 on Windows 10 Pro. At Win10 Pro it works. I will try it with Windows Server 2012 R2 and the Ninja8 rc2 32-Bit asap....

Dear Ninjatrader Team,

I found out, that my "comma" problem is due to some failures in the strategy code. Sorry for waisting your time and thank you for the best support in the world.

Kind regards,
Harvard
