I have in my form 3 radio buttons, when i click on each one a form appears and a parameter of my backtesting change. The problem is that when i click on save buttons nothing is saved. Before I added the check of radio buttons the save buttons was working. The click on radio buttons change the strategy of parameters. The error is with the save function when i check the radio buttons but i don't know how to resolve it.

Our system needs your email in order to notify you once one or more of your simulations are done. This is a safer way for you to keep track of your previous simulations (/jobs).
