“put values to parameters” doesn’t work correctly

If I select “put values to parameters” for the following, It will never replace 12 with any variable. It even creates a useless parameter called pConsty_1 = 2 that is not needed/used anywhere:

 

Original code:

— Long entry
if LongEntryCondition is true {
   if No position is open then Buy at SMA(21) + (-0.8 * ABS(High(12) – SMA(93))) Stop;
   Stop/Limit order expires after 28 bars.

   Stop Loss = (2.09 * ATR(91)) pips;
   Profit Target = 105 pips;
}

Code with parameters:

====================================================================
== Strategy Parameters
====================================================================
pConsty_1 = 2;
pSMA_2 = 21;
pSMA_4 = 93;
ProfitTargetPips = 105;
StopLossCoef = 2.09;
StopLossATR = 91;
LongStopOrderCoef = -0.8;
ShortStopOrderCoef = 0.8;
OrderBarsValid = 28;

====================================================================
== Entry conditions
====================================================================
LongEntryCondition = (Day of week = Monday)
ShortEntryCondition = (Day of week = Monday)

====================================================================
== Entry orders
====================================================================
— Long entry
if LongEntryCondition is true {
   if No position is open then Buy at SMA(pSMA_2) + (LongStopOrderCoef * ABS(High(12) – SMA(pSMA_4))) Stop;
   Stop/Limit order expires after OrderBarsValid bars.

   Stop Loss = (StopLossCoef * ATR(StopLossATR)) pips;
   Profit Target = ProfitTargetPips pips;
}

— Short entry
if ShortEntryCondition is true {
   if No position is open then Sell at SMA(pSMA_2) + (ShortStopOrderCoef * ABS(Low(12) – SMA(pSMA_4))) Stop;
   Stop/Limit order expires after OrderBarsValid bars.

   Stop Loss = (StopLossCoef * ATR(StopLossATR)) pips;
   Profit Target = ProfitTargetPips pips;
}

 

Hello,

 

some values are fixed values set by strategy builder. These will not be included among strategy parameters for optimization

In my example, why is period fixed at 12 bars in Low(12) and High(12) ?

sorry about this, it is most likely a bug, but we will fix in in the new major version 4, we are reworking the whole variables replacement part
