I have been away from the NT7 internal optimization function. I recently found a use for it, I have 631 potentially good "strategy" models I would like to process numbered 1 -> 631 and figured I could set a variable to have the optimizer run each model (Optimization parameter being the model number to review). I was excited about this, set it up and then handed it off to the Optimizer only to be faced with a message that doesn't make sense.
I have even tried modifying additional parameters and it still returns the same error.
I didn't select the Instrument on the left, I set it within the Optimizer, thought that was enough. I got it running, now I have a different problem. See below:
Now, the optimizer is running the strategies, but for some reason, not collecting the results of the run. As you can see, internally to the strategy the results were created (on the chart image). But not in the summary results so I don't know if it is optimizing the model (actually, I am sure it is not).
try making some simple optimization on a sample strategy to see if the problem is NT/settings/your strategy.

A few things I found out, the Optimizer doesn't like any form of exception. It also doesn't seem to load up "Bars.BarsType.Period.Value" in the OnStartUp() function properly. Seems to be okay after it starts calling OnBarUpdate(), had to hand code the Value into a string, otherwise it was a file not found error.
