Is it possible in strategy optimization to input easy language code to toggle certain conditions on and off. Say I am interested in running a scenario of approximately 14 conditions. Condition1, Condition2, etc. But at some point their are going to be too many so I would like to be able to turn conditions on and off to test the multiple combinations of conditions all while doing optimization.

Thanks

Just use the "and" operator and comment out the conditions you want to skip for a certain test run. For example,

If condition1
// and condition2
and condition3 then
action

would perform the action (buy, sell, ... etc) if conditions 1 and 3 were met. "//" takes the "and condition2" out of the picture. I think that should work. There are much more efficient ways of doing this, but I think this is the simplest.

Yes that would work but it is too labor intensive to try to go through all the possible combinations which is why I was trying to toggle between condition on/off through some type of optimization code

Use your own variables for the conditions and use 0 for false and 1 for true. Then you can optimize for that.

took the words outta my mouth.

Makes sense but I am still confused. Could you show me a simple example

I don't know if this example helps you, as we don't know what you are trying to do exactly.

Where you would usually have something like:

 

Code

if Condition1 = true then Buy next bar market;

you would change this to

 

Code

if MyCondition1 = 1 then Buy next bar market;

In this case MyCondition1 would be an input and if it's 1 it's true, otherwise it's false. This can be optimized now.
