Question about .set file contents

Post by webregs »

Hi,

I notice that some .set files have near duplicate lines/parameters in them such as:

gen=----General inputs----
Lot=0.01000000
Lot,F=0
Lot,1=0.01000000
Lot,2=0.00000000
Lot,3=0.00000000

RiskPercent=0
RiskPercent,F=0
RiskPercent,1=0
RiskPercent,2=0
RiskPercent,3=0

StopTrading=0
TradeLong=1
TradeShort=1

Why is this?

thanks

Looks like it has been generated by the Strategy Tester

Yes it was. So if I load this into an EA that's running on a demo account, which parameters would be applied or will it simply ignore the parms ending with xxx,F xxx,1 etc?

Yes, it will ignore those extra ST params.
