Optimizer won't optimize anything...

[[Deleted]]

Hi there,

I wrote my own EA and I'm testing it with MetaTrader Optimizer..

On simple testing it's okay, I got the report and graph.

But when I want to optimize the 2 main vars of my EA, the 2 panels related to vars optimization stay blank.

Here is how my vars are coded, out of any function:

Code:

extern int stop_loss;      // (10)
extern int take_profit;     // Gross PIP Profit (has to remove spread) (6)

I set up Initial Value, Step, and Stop in the Optimizer. Still no report and graph. ..

What did I miss?

I think it should be like this

extern int stop_loss=10;      // (10)
extern int take_profit=6;     // Gross PIP Profit (has to remove spread) (6)

I tried that too on the first time. It didn't work.

Select the "optimization results" panel, then bring up the right-click menu and untick "Skip Useless Results", and then try again....

I've been able to debug it now, thanks!
