How to find the best settings for an indicator

 
can you expalin for more spesific?
 
If the best settings are implied to produce largest profit, the best way is to craft an expert adviser based on this indicator and optimize it.

What i thought. thanks.


donnyf : finding best periods for example manually take some time.

 
to get the best setting also add the indicator many times to a chart with each having different settings the you can know which of the setting is most profittable.
 

no trick but hard work~

make an EA use the indicator,then then test again and again.

 i develop an EA and cost half a year to find the relative best parameters.

Indeed, it take a lot of time. Some say that even when done, the settings have to be reactualised ... But i guess when it's done on large period (1 yr) it should be enough.
