The name of the EA whose run took place is missing at the end of the single run log. It would be good to add it along with the header, as it is done at the beginning of the run.

When GUI shows list of caches being optimized, I would like to see in this list also time spent for optimization.

struct TestCacheHeader
  {
   DWORD             msc_avg;                // среднее время выполнения в миллисекундах

   UINT              passes_passed;          // количество пройденных проходов
  };

I.e. see the product of the respective fields -msc_avg * passes_passed.

In visual mode, pressing "Scroll to...date" scrolls to the end of the story

Is it a bug that the pips mode counts margin and there may not be enough money to trigger the limiters?

Now you cannot find an entry in this search bar by entering an EA name and a symbol. Only one thing is allowed.

is there anything you can tweak in the symbol properties to make the margin calculation less time-consuming?

fxsaber:

An interesting feature of genetics. In the depths of the algorithm, I replaced multiplication by one with an optimisation factor, whose optimisation range includes the same one.

When I included optimization of this parameter into genetics, I couldn't even get close to the result, which was shown by genetics before the parameter was entered.

And if you fix this parameter at 1, or optimise very close to it, is it possible to find the old maximum?

Make all symbol currencies match the account currency. In visual mode, there should always be only one symbol in Market Watch.

With one - of course, close - I have not checked.

2402, if you make a single run of one of the Optimisation results with a large balance, the balance is exhibited crooked.

Please correct this bug.
