EA optimization time and optmization process issue

I am currently working on optimizing an EA based on SuperTrend clustering, and I am honestly struggling to find a solid and reliable optimization process. I have tried different approaches, and the ones that seem the most logical to me involve using genetic optimization with a large set of

MT5 agents for local farm problem. don't use CPU at 100% (not all cores are used)

Hello everyone, I don't know on what category put this request so i let it in general, sorry. I am running a MetaTrader 5 local farm with one host PC and one worker PC connected on the same local network. The host PC only runs MT5 and launches the optimization. It does not perform any calculations

How to set up a Custom Max criterion for fast genetic optimization in MT5?

Hi everyone, I’d like to know how to properly configure a Custom max criterion for the fast genetic-based optimization in MT5. My goal is to optimize my EA according to the gains and the number of trades, in order to achieve more reliable and consistent results. When I use the standard “Maximum

fast genetic optimisation question

Hello I am here with a new question. In fast genetic optimization on MT5, what is the limit on the number of combinations? Where can I find documentation about how this type of optimization works ? Many thanks to everyone who replies to my message ! MM

optimisation questions

Hello, I'm opening this discussion because I have some additional questions about how MT5 handles optimization. Here’s my situation: I’m running backtests on Local Farm in MT5. I’ve heard that the maximum number of possible combinations for an optimization is 100,000,000. However, when I have more

optimization data conservation

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out today because I have some questions about MT5’s data storage system. I do optimization backtests on local farm (slow, fast genetic, etc), and I noticed something : when I stop an optimization and restart it later without changing any settings, the previously

Slow complete algorithm backtesting issue

Hello, recently i have started to backtesting an EA with the slow complete algorithm optimization setting. I have planed to do a big algorithmic test of all the features of my EA ( ~80 settings) so there is 2.2e+52 combinations. I was okay with this and when i launched, an alert message in the
