Support-for-string-parameters-in-Strategies

Dear WealthLab Development Team,

I would like to request an enhancement to WealthLab’s strategy development framework by adding support for string-based parameters. Currently, only Int32 and Double types are allowed as parameters in strategies, which limits flexibility in certain use cases.

Use Case:
Many trading strategies require the selection of assets, custom labels, or other text-based identifiers that would be more efficiently managed as string parameters. For example, a pairs trading strategy might need to dynamically select asset symbols without hardcoding them or using external configurations.

Proposed Solution:
Introduce support for string parameters in AddParameter, allowing developers to define and modify string values directly within the WealthLab UI.

Benefits:

Improves flexibility in defining trading strategies.

Enhances usability by reducing the need for hardcoded values.

Facilitates dynamic symbol selection for multi-asset strategies.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I look forward to your feedback and potential implementation.

Best regards,
Stephan
