Dev build 130 Mac: "Improve existing strategy" does not load correct strategy

After developing a multi timeframe strategy in Algo Wizard it was loaded into builder "Improve existing Strategy". Not all sub-charts are loaded and the specified instrument data is not correct. It appears that it is not loading the correct properties of the strategy that is to be improved.



Ive attached a sample of a random strategy I put together with 5 timeframes to demonstrate the error.


Is there a limit on the number of time frames allowed? Additionally why dont the time frames available in StrategyQuant match those in Algo Wizard? For example there's no M10 or H2 in Algo Wizard?

Jason, it doesn't work automatically.


There are two problems:

1. your strategy from AW doens't contain any last backtest settings. Please backtest it in AW and only aftre that Save it.


2. when you load strategy in Builder it doesn't automatically loads strategy settings to Builder. Load the strategy also to Databank, click on it to open it in Results, then go to Strategy config and click on Apply strategy config. 

This will load config of last strategy backtest into Builder. Note that it will overwrite everything, also your buiding blocks settings.

If you don't want that you should configure your data manually.

How do I do that if the strategy was built as a template in Algo Wizard? There is no button to backtest it in Algo Wizard when its a template mode.

you are right, you cannot backtest a template, because it contains some parts that ae not defined - they will be generated randomly.


You have to create a normal non-template strategy in AlgoWizard, this one you can bactest. Then you can replace some part of it with templates, or add randomly generated template parts to it and use it in the builder.

So if i want to create a template with specific indicators on specific time frames that all have randomly generated periods then this is not possible if I then want to improve say the exit elements of the template in the improve strategy module in builder?
