Default Value in Optimization

Default Value in Optimization

I'm writing a trading system and would like to have some optimization variables. I'd like to set a DEFAULT value for the optimization variables so I don't have to mess with the code when I'm not in the process of optimizing. I didn't see a way, though, to set a default value for an optimization statement -- the paramaters appear to only allow min, max, and step. If that's the case and there is not a special parameter for a default value, will QuantShare use the min value as the default?

Thanks,
Dave

Best Answer

Yes, QuantShare will use the min value.

What you can do is comment the optimize function. Example:

//Optimize("test", 1, 10, 1);
test = 5;

Great. It is just easier to know it will use the min value. Saves me time having to comment-out code.

Thank you.
