Optimization results problem

Hello, I have a problem that happens in each of my optimizations, I optimize actually in basical criteria "balance max", and some passes show very big results that are not the real metrics developped by the pass once you take it in solo backtest (like the 2 first ones bellow) I have tried to clean

Agent manager questions

Hello, I have a question about how MetaTrader 5 counts and uses CPU cores/threads for optimization agents, especially when using one PC as the host and another PC as a worker. My setup is: Host PC: Intel i9-14900K Normally: 24 cores / 32 threads Worker PC: Intel i7-10700K Normally: 8 cores / 16

MT5 agents problem

During my MT5 optimizations, I sometimes encounter a situation where the agents stop working even though they still have a few tasks assigned to them (I am using a local farm). When this happens, I try disabling and then enabling the agents again. The status changes from “Finished” to “Ready”, but

MT5 Optimization Results default

Hello everyone During genetic optimization (Every tick based on real ticks), some passes show extremely high profits (e.g. 2,000,000+), which is clearly unrealistic. However, when I run a single backtest using the exact same parameters: The result is normal No huge profit Sometimes even losing Lot

Optimization Results learning issue

Hello everyone, hope this message finds you all well I have an issue with my XML exported optimization results → I have a TF setting, and in the results, it appears as a number so i can't find out which time frame it is. Does anyone have the solution, like a database which refers the assignated

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
