When optimizing ea in MT5 strategy tester for the best results for inputs into ea - MA, RSI, TP, SL, Trailing, etc.for the previous 3 weeks (as an example) on Slow Complete algorithm, do optimizations results skewed towards the end of the 3rd(last) week of the optimizations period or results distributed evenly across 3 weeks?

What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.

It is parameters matter, not time itself...If you want the most recent period to be considered , I suggest you use forward optimization. Hope this helps.
