Typically, the optimizer finds several "plateaus" of high performance. It's then up to the user to select a specific set of indicator parameter values to use. These values have to be hard-coded in the strategy class, because after the optimizer completes its run, it doesn't actually set anything for the forward test or trading modes. The optimizer merely records the optimization results in a file. Does that make sense? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
