Systematically exporting optimization results to CSV

ok, let me start by saying I'm a WL newbie. Here is my two-part question:

(1) For optimization results, rather than manually right-clicking and selecting "Save to File..." after each optimization run, is there code I can add at the end of my program that will do so systematically?

(2) ...and if so, is there then a way to "daisy chain", loop, or cycle through multiple symbols, running an optimization program consecutively (similar to a "Do While..Loop" in VB)?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome aboard Tom. Let's start by verifying your Fidelity entitlement. Please create a support ticket (click) and we'll get this done quickly. Thanks.

As to your question, automated optimization isn't a product feature of WLP. Why would you need this?

Thanks for the quick response, Eugene! Per your request, I just submitted a support ticket.

The reason for the need to systematically export optimization results and, furthermore, to sequentially daisy-chain runs is for speed and convenience. The core strategy I've developed requires individual optimizations of 100+ symbols. Although I use genetic optimization and tightened parameter ranges, it can take 15+ min for each to run...then the time-consuming manual effort of copying and pasting between each run.

Your request isn't new. In the absense of new ideas (or feature development), let me repeat my previous suggestion:

Stage a Batch Optimization
Programmatically running optimizations?

Eugene,

Two words...you rock! I'd never heard of AutoIT before; I downloaded it, learned it within minutes, and it worked for what I needed! Thanks again!

Tom,

Awesome. Glad to help you.

Would be nice if you had a minute to check out your open ticket.
