constant re-optimization - any success stories?

[bernd]

I have come across this https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/1467 The Article describes an approach to automated optimization. I'm currently experimenting with some strongly overfitting EAs and suspect they might be profitable for at least some short time.

Is there any experience available with this kind of approach? Did anybody ever have a simple, otherwise poor EA (comparable to the MACD example) running constantly profitable with permanent re-optimization?

Only if the EA has the potential to begin with. This doesn't include any of the samples.

This is the question. Maybe there is at least some potential in such simple EAs, maybe the MACD could provide an edge if it were possible to find the settings that work currently. Even if they only work for 2 days.
