Optimization, Genetic

[connorgrant5]

When using Optimization, Genetic in Strategy Analyzer the Columns Results do show data when using an NT8 built-in strategy like Sample MA Crossover, but does not show Columns Results when testing my own custom strategy. Is there special code needed? It does not seem to help whether I input 2 or 10 for 'Keep best # results'. See attached

Hello connorgrant5,

Are you currently using 8.0.22.2?
(Help > About)

If you run a regular backtest on the strategy using the same parameters and data does the strategy have more than 0 trades?

[connorgrant5]

Yes, version 8.0.22.2. In the previously attached example, it shows 466 trades and regular backtest shows 400 plus trades too.

See another attached example with explanation.

Hello connorgrant5,

I am seeing there are changes in this area coming with the upcoming release.

I would like you to test the unreleased build and see if this behavior can still be reproduced.

I cannot provide a link to the unreleased build publicly; please send an email to platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com. In the email please include a link to the forum thread.

I look forward to hearing from you.

[connorgrant5]

Will do, thank you.

I loaded the unreleased build but no luck, still does not show data in Columns Results section. Would it help if I gave you the strategy and template to look into it?

Hello connorgrant5,

This is Jim responding on behalf of Chelsea who is out of the office at this time.

Yes, you may share your strategy and template with us so we can have a look to see if there is anything we can suggest that may be causing an issue, or if there is an issue with the platform, we can get that reported.

We would need a source code export, and we would ask that the strategy is as reduced as possible to demonstrate the issue at hand. If the strategy is too complex, it may be difficult for us to give advise or get an issue reported.

Could you write in to platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com with the text "Attn Jim 2809637" and include a link to this thread in addition to including a small test script and template that reproduces the issue?
