MT5 Strategy tester optimisation question

New comment
 

Hi,

When using the strategy tester for optimisation, is it possible to ignore certain combinations?  For instance, if I optimise the below parameters (example), the tester will test all combinations even if the first parameter is false:

For example: Ideally, I only want combinations of Bollinger bands strategy/Bollinger Bands moment of signal/Bollinger bands period considered when Use Bollinger Bands is true.

Is there anyway of structuring the inputs into a logical group to facilitate this, or does the tester default to brute force and test every combination?

Thanks


Use Bollinger Bands: true/false

Bollinger Bands Strategy: strategy1/strategy2/strategy3

Bollinger Bands Moment of Signal: Current Price/Bar Close Price

Bollinger Bands Period: 20 - 50 step 5

 
ceejay1962: or does the tester default to brute force and test every combination?

Only if you uncheck generic.

 
Thanks, I always have it set to 'slow complete algorithm'.
