how to read an EA optimization results and what to look for to know the EA works ??
anyone ?
if i use optimization is optimize for profit faktor and drawdown. But you have to test the result on a different timeperiod than the optimization.
profit faktor is still low from my point of view.

what does profit factor mean ?
and what about expected payoff ?

I run optimization on an EA with 0.01 fixed lot size on $10,000 account for 9 years of 1H chart data, I have 120 passes so far - how do I pick the best ??
should I pick them by expected payoff ? or minimal drawdown ? or profit factor ... ? ? maybe some combination of those ?
THANKS !!
