Optimizer can run millions of strategies. If it saved the position history
for each of these strategies, it would be a lot of wasted space and CPU
cycles.

Position history is saved with the only purpose to show it on the strategy
performance chart, which is only available after running a back test. Note
that forward test modes and optimizer modes are results-compatible with the
backtest. That is, if you run JBT in forward test, and then run the backtest
on the recorded data, the results will be identical. Same thing with the
optimizer. So, in effect, you are not losing any position history
information.
