Strategy Tester run with optimization checked returns totals but not individual results
badseed:
No there isn't . . . unless you want to code something yourself and save the trade data to a file.
My question is, is there a way, when i run a strategy with optimization selected, to see the individual results matching my criteria for every step, in the same way i see them without optimization?
badseed:
I click Ok and click Start. Again it runs quickly and in the Optimization Results tab i see 6 total results (one for each of my 12 to 18 steps) where i see the total trades matching each of the steps. If i click on the individual result tab i still see the same results from my previous strategy run, not the current one.
My question is, is there a way, when i run a strategy with optimization selected, to see the individual results matching my criteria for every step, in the same way i see them without optimization?
After the optimization run, double click on one run (in the optimization results.) That sets the Expert Properties to that combination of parameters. Now run a non-optimization and you have your individual trades.

thanks WHRoeder,
this would work, unfortunately each optimization run, could have a few hundred results... i need to find a way to automate it.

hello all,
Strategy Tester Module. If i run a strategy without the optimization check box selected then i get a list of all trades matching my criteria (i see them all if i click on the 'results' tab), however, if run the same strategy with the optimization checked, i only get a comprehensive 'total trades' matching my criteria (displayed on the optimization results tab). The results tab still displays the individual results of the previous strategy run.
to give an example: in strategy tester/settings i select in the Expert Advisor dropdown list the Moving Strategy option, i enter a range of days (01/01/2012 - 31/12/2012 for example). in the Period dropdown list i select H1, i leave the Optimization option unchecked and click Start. it finishes quickly, i click on the results tab and i see all the individual trades matching my criteria (in this case it's a total of 16 trades)
Now i run the strategy again with two changes. i first click select 'Optimization' and then i click on Expert Properties. in the Input tab, i select Moving Period and enter the values 12, 12, 1, 18 (Value, Start, Step, Stop)
I click Ok and click Start. Again it runs quickly and in the Optimization Results tab i see 6 total results (one for each of my 12 to 18 steps) where i see the total trades matching each of the steps. If i click on the individual result tab i still see the same results from my previous strategy run, not the current one.
My question is, is there a way, when i run a strategy with optimization selected, to see the individual results matching my criteria for every step, in the same way i see them without optimization?
thank you for taking the time to read this
