Rails - Nov 2006 - accessing single parameter in params (date in particular)

I have a form that is passing a "date" to a controller and I need to 
just get access to the date?

# Here is a snippet from the form

<p><label for="trade_tradedate">Trade
Date</label><br/>
<%= date_select ''trade'', ''tradedate'',
:order => [:month, :day,
:year]%></p>

<p><label
for="position_symbol">Symbol</label><br/>
<%= text_field ''position'', ''symbol'' 
%></p>

# Here is a snippet from the table definition

class Trades < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :trades do |table|
      table.column :tradedate, :date
...
end


# Here is snippet in the controller where I am attempting as follows

@position.trades.create(  :tradedate => params[:trade],
                          :symbol => @position.symbol,
...

# I can see in the log that it''s passing the parameter as follows

"trade"=>{"tradedate(1i)"=>"2006",
"tradedate(2i)"=>"11",
"tradedate(3i)"=>"1"}

thanks for any help ...

t =
Time.local(params[''trade''][''tradedate(1i)''],
              
params[''trade''][''tradedate(2i)''],
              
params[''trade''][''tradedate(3i)''])

Ought to do it, modulo any typos I''ve introduced.

@tradedate = params[:trade][:tradedate]
@symbol = params[:position][:symbol]
