I have done a lot of programming in my time from the late 1970s - mid 2000s but I have not done much in the past 15 years. I started trying to pick up on C# and learn the libraries in Wealthlab and can see it may take a month or two to get up to speed on it and I just have one strategy I would like to test. I would certainly pay for it (unless it is insanely expensive) but thought I would ask first:) Thanks

George,
What kind of routine is on your mind? How complex is it?

Depending on the complexity you could try to get started with the drag and drop feature. It doesn't require programming skills at all.
Did you look at it already?

I offer coding services for Wealth-lab.

I am using the drag and drop features - and I certainly may not understand all the commands that are available. I will write up the logic I am looking for and add it and maybe someone knows an easy way to do it.
Eugene - Thanks or replying - I will write it up and add it tonight to this post. You may know of a function or command that handles it easily. I just haven't found it:) Thanks again for responding.

You're welcome. Looking forward to it but please make it a new reply in this topic rather than editing an existing post in it.
why another new topic? it clearly relates to this original post? 🤷🏼♂️
Glitch - oopps - I had no idea it created a new post. I thought I was just replying.
Eugene - I am hitting the Reply button and entering my response - I am not trying to create a new post. I am still on the same page as my original message. What else would I hit other than Reply?
"Reply" is the way to go. I thought you were going to edit an existing post in this topic, adding some content to it - hence my comment.
OK - thanks.
Now back to the question - as I mentioned previously I want to develop a screener that is not screening on fundamentals but I want it to identify a collection of stocks that are being institutionally traded in a predictable manner. A lot of stocks do not fit this but I have found many that do and it only works for a period of time and then I find new ones. I love the optimize feature and I use that to input variables and see how well certain stocks do and then pick the 4 or 5 best and see what the best combination of parameters are.
What I am doing now that is working is simply telling the design surface to buy when it is 10% under a recent high and sell after X% gain AND when the price is Y% above a moving average. If it works for a stock, the program is identifying too many signals and quite a few bad signals so I want to add volume consideration or some other parameter. I can do this manually by sequentially selecting the parameter and running it and then doing it again with another parameter. What I would like is to be able to make it sequence through the various parameters so I can see which parameter works best. If I am thinking in programming mode I would think like this:
For x = 1 to 50
"use parameter X from the library"
run the optimization process above
Next x
Then get a list of results when it finishes. I know that I can optimize the various parameters for the different choices - like moving averages and so forth but I want to sequence through the items that have these parameters:)
Does that make sense?
Thanks
