I'm attempting to setup a parameter as string.

CODE:
         AddParameter("Benchmark Symbol", ParameterTypes.String, "SPY");


When I do that and compile, I receive the following exception:
CODE:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Double'. at WealthLab.Core.Parameter.get_AsDouble() at WealthLab.Core.Parameter.OrderListener() at WealthLab.Core.ParameterList.FixOptimizationValues() at WealthLab.WPF.ParameterSliderPanel.set_Parameters(ParameterList value) at CreatorInterpreter.SetupWorker(Object , ParameterList , CreatorInterpreter ) at WealthLab7.cwStrategy.MoveRecord() at WealthLab7.designerCode.Compile() at WealthLab7.designerCode.StartCode(Object item, RoutedEventArgs map) at System.Windows.EventRoute.InvokeHandlersImpl(Object source, RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean reRaised) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseEventImpl(DependencyObject sender, RoutedEventArgs args) at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.OnClick() at System.Windows.Controls.Button.OnClick() at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.OnMouseLeftButtonUp(MouseButtonEventArgs e) at System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.InvokeHandler(Delegate handler, Object target) at System.Windows.EventRoute.InvokeHandlersImpl(Object source, RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean reRaised) at System.Windows.UIElement.ReRaiseEventAs(DependencyObject sender, RoutedEventArgs args, RoutedEvent newEvent) at System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.InvokeHandler(Delegate handler, Object target) at System.Windows.EventRoute.InvokeHandlersImpl(Object source, RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean reRaised) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseEventImpl(DependencyObject sender, RoutedEventArgs args) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseTrustedEvent(RoutedEventArgs args) at System.Windows.Input.InputManager.ProcessStagingArea() at System.Windows.Input.InputProviderSite.ReportInput(InputReport inputReport) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.ReportInput(IntPtr hwnd, InputMode mode, Int32 timestamp, RawMouseActions actions, Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 wheel) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.FilterMessage(IntPtr hwnd, WindowMessage msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource.InputFilterMessage(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at MS.Win32.HwndWrapper.WndProc(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at MS.Win32.HwndSubclass.DispatcherCallbackOperation(Object o) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)

Strategy parameters can only be Int32 or Double, since those are the only two types that can be optimized.

Dion, maybe it could be more prudent with a clear compiler warning or something on trying to add an unsupported parameter type in UserStrategyBase?

Agree, something a bit more friendly and maybe a note in the documentation would be helpful. I banged my head against a wall for a bit, thinking I was doing something silly and causing the issue, as other platforms I work in allow string parameters with strategies.
