Build Metrics and Minimum Trades

[Ed Kelenyi]

Under build metrics I list a build condition of number of trades greater than 1000 during training - yet Top Results for training then lists strategies with only one trade - how to i implement a filter so i actually get results i specify in the build metrics?

Thanks so much,

Ed

If you've added conditions to the "Conditions for Selecting Top Strategies" section on the Build Metrics window, that will filter strategies according to those conditions so that only strategies meeting those conditions will be added to the Top Strategies population, as displayed in the Top Results tab on the Build Results window. If you're still seeing strategies in that tab of Build Results that don't meet those conditions, it's probably because they were added prior to the new condition. The Top Strategies population does not reset automatically. It accumulates strategies from all builds in that project file. So if you make a change to your Top Strategies metrics and only want strategies in the Stop Strategies population that meet those criteria, you need to manually delete the current strategies from the Build Results window. You can do that by right-clicking on the results in the Top Results tab of Build Results and selecting "Delete All Strategies".
