No net profit after optimization

Post by dante »

Is it something I need to change in Tickstory settings to make the optimizer calculate profit/loss?
On 400 rows it just shows 0.00 in the optimizing results / kolumn profit.

I have downloaded mt4 to my computer to use it only for testing and optimizing,
When I run the optimizer it gives the message in the journal: There where 400 passes done during optimization, 400 result has been discarded as insignificant.
So there are no results at all.
I seem to have the data in place, for if I uncheck the optimizer and just click on start I can see that the quality om ticks is 99,99% and the stapel is green under report.
And if I click on open chart, it opens up with the data period I selected.

I made the exakt same procedure with the same EA and same settings on another MT4 that is connected to a broker, and with the broker account it works fine to optimize.

Hi Dante,

Results are discarded when the EA settings are not profitable. You can show them by right-clicking on the optimization window and deselect "Skip useless options".
Of course, more comprehensive information on this and other optimization features is available on the MQL forums.

Hi

I already know about skip useless options.
All the passes are showing up but every one has 0.00 as profit/loss.

So there seems that of something that prevent the prize to be calculated.
I have looked in some forums to find answer but not found anything yet.
So if you have some ideas I would appreiciate that.

Hi Dante,

The best advice I can suggest is to nail down a set of working parameters via the "single" back-testing method and then see if those settings work in the optimisation.

Regards.
