Re: Strategy Id Number
The first number in the strategy ID is calculated by the used indicators and logical rules. The second number is calculated by the numeric parameters used.
EA Studio stores up to 999 major numbers and unlimited number of versions for each major number.
Once it reaches 999, it starts from 1.
These numbers are not constant. They are recalculated every time you make a strategy, it is profitable and the version numbers are less than 999.
If you open a strategy on different machine or browser, it will show different Id.
The Id numbers are very useful to distinguish two strategies and to decide if they differ by their trading rules or only by their numeric values.

So, if it reaches 999, is it possible to have the same ID in a collection?

It is not possible to have two different strategies with the same ID.

So what if I already have a strategy with ID 1.1 in my collection and generator reaches ID 999.1. Will it stop generating or will it overwrite the previous strategy with ID 1.1?

Re: Strategy Id Number
EA Studio will continue working as expected. The next strategy will be with Id = 2.1.
