I need some clarification, on the meta trader platform configuration.

 

Dear People,

I need some clarification, on the meta trader platform configuration.

Please explain what the following are, (I mean how & when to use):

I could not locate a help zone in the help file that is why I am asking here, I hope you will understand.

(1) “Optimized parameter” found on “Testing” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(2) “Genetic algorithm” found on “Testing” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(3) “Variable” found on “Inputs” Tab @ “Expert properties”: I know, I put the variables there via extern declaration in my code, but I do not understand how does Value, Start Step & Stop work.

(4) “Balance minimum” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(5) “Profit maximum” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(6) “Minimal margin level %” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(7) “Maximal drawdown” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(8) “Consecutive loss” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(9) “Consecutive loss trades” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(10) “Consecutive win” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(11) “Consecutive loss trades” found on “Optimization” Tab @ “Expert properties”

(12) “Optimization” Check box found beside “Open chart” on the main page

Thanks.
