Configuring Strategy Parameters, Dependencies, and Display Groups
Summary
The guide explains how strategy interface parameters are defined and displayed alongside code. It covers numeric, string, dropdown, Boolean, and encrypted string fields, including how their selected or entered values are exposed to the strategy. Encrypted strings receive additional security handling, while editing them can trigger account verification.
It also demonstrates conditional visibility: a Boolean setting can control whether another parameter appears, making the interface responsive to user selections. Parameters and interactive controls can be arranged into labeled groups through description formatting and ordering. The examples show the resulting display changes, but the document does not assess effects on trading decisions, strategy performance, or parameter validation; it is a configuration reference for the platform interface.
Key ideas
- Strategy interface parameters can use numeric, string, dropdown, Boolean, or encrypted string values.
- Dropdown selections are represented in strategy code by a numeric index.
- A Boolean parameter can determine whether another parameter is shown.
- Description formatting and parameter order can be used to organize fields into groups.
- Interactive controls can be grouped using the same general approach.
