Extracting Optimized Parameters

[kevinenergy]

Good morning.

I'm working with the optimizer! Its awesome!

Is there an easy way to see a list of Optimized parameters and their optimized values? The only place I can see these is in the Parameters column, but I cannot make out which is which. E.g. "9,true,true, 21,55,EMA,SMA, true,89"

or in the settings list on the strategy analyzer (see attached screenshot), which doesn't show boolean or Enum optimzied values, only numbers.

I'm sure I'm probably missing something...

Hello kevinenergy.
Thanks for your post.

How is the public property set up for the parameter you want to optimize?

The following link has an example of an enum that can be optimized.

If anyone else finds the optimized parameters ridiculously difficult to obtain from the Optimizer output, I wrote the following VBA Macro For excel to Transform the output

Ninjatrader's optimizer returns the optimized parameters in the following format:

"TMA/7/DEMA/18/SMA/3 (Fast Type, Fast Period, Slow Type, Slow Period, Hilo Type, Hilo Period)"

Not at all helpful as you need to count the position of each value between the two lists in the output to work out which parameter is which.

The Macro below converts the exported excel data to this format which is MUCH easier to read!

"Fast Type(TMA) | Fast Period(7) | Slow Type(DEMA) | Slow Period(18) | Hilo Type(SMA) | Hilo Period(3)"

Public Function NinjaStringMap(data As String)
    Dim splitted As Variant
    
    splitted = Split(data, "(")
        
    Dim paramValueString As String
    Dim paramTypeString As String
       
    paramValueString = splitted(0)
    paramTypeString = splitted(1)
    
    paramTypeString = Left(paramTypeString, Len(paramTypeString) - 1)
    
    Dim paramValueList As Variant
    Dim paramTypeList As Variant
    
    paramValueList = Split(paramValueString, "/")
    paramTypeList = Split(paramTypeString, ",")
        
    Dim result As String
    
    For i = LBound(paramTypeList) To UBound(paramTypeList)
         result = result & paramTypeList(i) & "(" & paramValueList(i) & ") | "

    Next i
    
    NinjaStringMap = result

End Function
