Maximum number of lines of code in a strategy?

Vonasi · 2019-02-06T21:20:08+00:00

Is there a maximum number of lines of code allowed in a strategy or indicator? The reason I ask is bec ause I am trying to code a strategy that only uses two variables and trying to get it to simulate every possible combination of these with variables with values between 5 and 200 step 5 for each. The strategy then uses the values that have been most profitable up to the current time or maybe most profitable recently. Due to the lack of arrays in PRT this means an awful lot of repetitive code so before I progress further I would be interested to know if I will hit a limit of maximum lines of code allowed. Anyone (Nicolas!) know if there is a maximum limit?

Ha … I found your textual explanation not confusing and easy to understand!!

The code would take me a tiny bit longer to get my head around! 🙂

Haha, agreed with Grahal.

Vonasi, for cases like yours what I do is using letters at the end of every strategy…. like:

conditionAAA1=average[periodAAA1](indicatorAAA1)

Then in another window I copy my strategy and interchange the sufix AAA to BBB and copy/paste to the other strategy.

hope it work for you

Yes I use a similar theory but I have found that if you ask the PRT platform to look through 10000 lines of code for something that is repeated a lot in the code then it takes hours to process it – so it is not a practical proposition to use find and replace. The code has to be broken down into smaller sections and then pasted in to a new window, processed and then pasted back in the original strategy. This leads to a very big chance of error.
