Hi, i would like to know if there is a way for reduce combinations numbers!
For example... I have two parameters where the second depends on the first value:


strategy.parameters:addString("usema", "Use EMA indicator", "", "YES");
strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("usema", "YES", "", "YES");
strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("usema", "NO", "", "NO");

strategy.parameters:addString("closeema", "Close position when EMA is over", "", "YES");
strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("usema", "YES", "", "YES");
strategy.parameters:addStringAlternative("usema", "NO", "", "NO");


In this situation i have 3 combinations, not 4. Where first is NO and second is YES have no sense (the same result of NO NO because I do not consider the second option in the strategy if the first is NO).

A trick is to exit from ExtUpdate function when i want to exclude a particular combination, but this still returns a result (0 value) and I think this affects the optimizer in the choice of conbinations to be processed.

any other ways?

thanks

In optimizer, for the second parameter, select only yes.
Hence NO contingencies will NOT be considered then.

Yes absolutely right, but i can't do that when second parameter is integer, or when i have multiple connected parameter.

I'm only looking for a way to inform optimizer to not consider some combinations, that is different to have a 0 value.
