Looking for a walk forward optimization tool for MT5.

Thank you 

Interview with Andrey Barinov (ATC 2012)
It was on Friday of the Championship's first week that the trading robot of Andrey Barinov (Wahoo) occupied the fifth place in TOP-10. Andrey is a newcomer in the Championship but he has already managed to execute more than 100 orders in Jobs and develop a dozen of products for Market. We have arranged an interview with him and learned that the development of a "simple multicurrency Expert Advisor" is not an easy but a fairly easy task.

Thank you,

yes, already saw this. However, i am looking for a periodically setup over the whole test period, for instance:

optimize 3 trading days, apply 5 trading days, move optimization period, repeat.

Right now, you can only optimizes one and apply once.

Hello MetaQuotes:

is it possible to implement a periodical forward backtest:

Select optimization interval (backtest) and select application interval (forward backtest).

This would be great help. You could see, if one week of optimization then applicate result for next week, optimize next week, applicate for over-next weekt, and so on

would have worked over the past 10 years.

MetaQuotes - this would be great, indeed. To visualize chinaski's request, just an example:

Hello Enigma,

thank you for supporting me.

In- and out- sample size should be free selectable. For instance in=4 hours, out=24 hours...

This's what some neutral network algorithm implements.

Always can use a library to do it.

If it's going to be built-in, that's always a good news.
