Topic: Possible bug clicking on strategy in Collection

I wanted to report a possible bug related to processing collected strategies.

I've seen this issue a few times now and I will upload my collection file so you can possibly recreate it:

Note that I do use the excellent community script "strategy-collection-merger.py" and I've done that here. After running multiple Reactor instances, I take the various collections then merge them for final human review.

The bug is that when clicking on Strategy ID 364.1 (second in my list), I'm taking to the Strategy tab but the ID shown in the tab is incorrect 359.1

Note that in the uploaded collection, ONLY 364.1 is having this issue. All other collected strategies work correctly when I click on them.

Also in some cases like this, it can get screwy and the chart will show an incorrect picture.

Please let me know if you're able to recreate this and if it's a known issue.
Thank you

Re: Possible bug clicking on strategy in Collection

The ID numbers serve for reference for the current instance of EA Studio. these labels are not unique and are not representable.
Please, use the Magic Number to refer to the strategies.

I'm not familiar with this scrip "strategy-collection-merger.py".

I see is that the strategy with Magic Number 1795634765 has malformed parameters (not visible in the Editor).

Do you know what is the origin of this strategy? I'm curious from where the damaged parameters values are coming.

Re: Possible bug clicking on strategy in Collection

The merger script comes from this stickied post:
https://forexsb.com/forum/topic/9829/merge-all-your-strategy-collections-with-one-click/

My point about the ID numbers is that... when you're on the Collection view - whatever Strategy ID shown in the chart listing should match the same Strategy ID when clicking on that strategy (in the case I mentioned it does not).

The origin of all strategies would have been from Generator. However, I run many different Generator and Reactors in different windows. Then about once per day I download all those collections and use the merger script to provide a unified view for further analysis.

Re: Possible bug clicking on strategy in Collection

I was able to correct this corruption with the following steps:

  • Open the original EURGBP collection in a new EA Studio window

  • Export the EURGBP collection again

  • Run merger script again

After these steps, all charts from the merged collections are working as expected.

I noticed that the original EURGBP collection export is 1 byte shorter. I'll upload both the original EURGBP collection and the "second" export here. Perhaps the issue is related to the first EURGBP collection download?
