Baktesting Optimization parameters

[Davide Tedesco]

Hi at all,

in execution of ea in backtesting optimization:

- is there a way/function/parameter for get number pass of backtesting optimizzation ?

- is there a way/function/parameter for get input/extern variables name in optimization mode ?

- is there a way/function/parameter for terminate pass of optimization in execution, for go to next ?

Very thanks at all

yes,yes,no

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/optimization_frames

to terminate an optimization pass ,you have to put some codes INSIDE your EA to judge some preconditions.

by "INSIDE" i mean codes in OnInit() / OnTradeTransaction()/ OnTrade()/ OnTick()

you can not control an optimization pass from OUTSIDE.

by "OUTSIDE" i mean codes in OnTesterInit()/ OnTesterPass()/ OnTesterDeinit(), they are used to handle the test results COMING OUT of the optimization process.

Yes. TesterStop().

Yes. TesterStop().

"The TesterStop() function is designed for a routine early shutdown of an EA on a test agent – for example, when reaching a specified number of losing trades or a preset drawdown level."

TesterStop() is still an "INSIDE" function. You have no way to get information such as " reaching a specified number of losing trades or a preset drawdown level" from "OUTSIDE".

As I understand it, all three of @Davide Tedesco 's questions are about "OUTSIDE" control of optimization work.

It's you who are talking about "inside/outside", the OP doesn't make such distinction. Let him decide.

ohh! very very thanks,

I am very happy to read this very interesting documentation !!!


but, i'm very sorry, for once I don't specify it:

but can i use this functions in mql4 ?


I need this functions for a part of new implementation in my framework,

for this i must begin to terminare this new implementation,

and i don't want to pass my framework ea in mql5 before study well mql5.

but vey very thanks, because i will study this documentation,

and it will be very useful for many idea to consider in my analysis
