Algo type is specified in algo_strategy proto field of related messages, its value shall be as Abbreviation from algos list below, value is case sensitive.
Algo parameters are specified as a named values collection extra_attributes repeated field.
It is possible to request ATDL definition via WebAPI proto, see InformationRequest.algo_strategy_definition_request; that may be helpful for getting parameter types, their default values, allowable values and some basic validation rules (for example some parameter values must be greater than 0).
It is suggested to re-request ATDL definitions periodically because they may change over time. There is no ATDL versioning, in other words, only most recent version is usable at at a time.
There is one peculiar thing about parameter names in ATDL and actual names expected by CQGGW: ALGO_ prefix has to be added to every name. So, if parameter name in ATDL is CQG_end_time, its name in extra_attributes shall be ALGO_CQG_end_time. Parameter names are case sensitive.
Below, all parameters are listed as 'Name, underlying type (what is expected as its string value'
