Question about optimizing parameters
-
I want to try to optimize some parameters but I would appreciate some confirmation about how it works at Fxdreema before doping it. If I understand correctly I can tick as many parameters to optimize as I want, but must I duplicate all of them for buy/sell trades? I mean that if I choose to optimize a moving average period, do I have to tick both buy and sell paths in my blocks or not?
And the second question is confirming that once selected as optimizable at FxDreema, those parameters will be now elegible at the MT4 optimization tool whereas they weren'r before. Am I right?
Thank you in advance.

take this small example:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/HqopsgoUb
this is normal window in MT4 for one specific test (right checkbox for Optimization is not selected):
this one is selected for Optimization (right check box selected) and parameters are set for optimizing, you see that it takes combinations for different MA periods and different SL and TP stops ...
in basic inputs for optimization you can increase initial deposit, only buy or sells, etc...
you run this optimization and wait for some results ... here we go:
uncheck that parameter "Skip Useless Results" and you can see also negative profits, what is also usefull ... to see which parameters are worst
...blocks as "Once per bar" when used in right place, can speedup optimization results ... (but not always it is possible to use, because sometimes you need each tick, depends on project)

Great! So essentially what that box does is selecting a value range to be optimized for each parameter, and it chooses those values instead me. Is that correct?
That means I can manually choose other range to be optimized whenever I want, right?

yes, it should work this way

Ok. Thank you.
