Settings saving and loading

To save and load strategy settings the overrides of Save and Load methods used respectively.

C#
Copy
public override void Load(SettingsStorage settings)
{
    if (settings.Contains("UsedVolume"))
        Id = settings.GetValue<Guid>("UsedVolume");

    if (settings.Contains("Ticks"))
        Name = settings.GetValue<string>("Ticks");

    if (settings.Contains("SpreadVolume"))
        Volume = settings.GetValue<decimal>("SpreadVolume");

    base.Load(settings);
}

public override void Save(SettingsStorage settings)
{
    settings.SetValue("UsedVolume", UsedVolume);
    settings.SetValue("Ticks", Ticks);
    settings.SetValue("Volume", Volume);
    settings.SetValue("SpreadVolume", SpreadVolume);

    base.Save(settings);
}

To save and load settings from an external file, you can use serialization and deserialization, respectively, implemented in S#.

C#
Copy
var newStrategy = new MarketProfileStrategy();
if (File.Exists("marketProfile.xml"))
{
    var settingsStorage = new XmlSerializer<SettingsStorage>().Deserialize("marketProfile.xml");
    newStrategy.Load(settingsStorage);
}

To save the settings to an external file, you must change the Save, method, described earlier.

C#
Copy
public override void Save(SettingsStorage settings)
{
    settings.SetValue("UsedVolume", UsedVolume);
    settings.SetValue("Ticks", Ticks);
    settings.SetValue("Volume", Volume);
    settings.SetValue("SpreadVolume", SpreadVolume);

    base.Save(settings);

    new XmlSerializer<PlazaTable>().Serialize(settings, "marketProfile.xml");
}
