How to optimize an strategy?

How can I optimize an strategy?

Apart from checking the strat in the strategy tester, how can I optimize an strategy?

Been thinking that the best form is to test it in real markets.

Any ideas on how to get optimize?

You’re right - optimization is more than just running backtests.

Above all, you need to clearly understand how your EA works (signals/logic, filters, etc).

Only then does it make sense to continue with forward testing, robustness checks and analyzing where and why the strategy works or fails in specific situations.

Before using a strategy on the real market, you need to test it on demo accounts.
