Required Skills: Win32 API, UI automation, files parsing - Auto Optimization / Backtesting

Hi there,

Bottom line:

Having the back-testing results on MySQL DB.
MT4 for now, but it should work for both 4/5.

Background:

- 15-20 MT4 terminals on a VPS.

- Strategy Tester opened with EA + Symbol per Terminal.

- Inputs: Start, Step, Stop Values are already there.

Version 1: Full optimization + Back-testing.

- Change the date to "Today".

- Run optimization with current inputs (Optimization Checkbox is checked).

- Select from the "Optimization Results" the best record (high profit, low DD).

- Run Back-testing with those values (Optimization Checkbox is not checked).

- Validate that the total results are good as the optimization results (sometimes after back-testing we got horrible "results" and "graph" which are not matching the optimization results).

- If the "results" are not good - select the next record from the "optimization results" and run the back-testing again.

- Repeat on this step until we get a good "results" - as we had on the optimization.

- Save the inputs as a preset file.

- Save the report.

- Export "Results" as a CSV file.

- Import new data (dates) to MySQL db, do not overwrite current data/dates (import only new orders)

--- optional:
* If its possible, I would like to do that on ONE terminal, same EA, different symbols.
So in addition: We will load the new preset to the relevant chart in order to have an updated optimization.


Version 2: Back-testing - No optimization is required. 

- Change the date to today.

- Run the back-testing.

- Export "Results" as a CSV file.

- Import new data (dates) to MySQL db, do not overwrite current data/dates (import only new orders).

To summarize:

For version 1:

We will have auto optimization + Report + Results + Preset file.
If its possible to work on ONE terminal so the preset will be loaded with the EA into the relevant chart.

For version 2:

Super short process that will auto generates us the "results" only, after back-testing.


If you have a better idea which is more simple than the above - im open for suggestions.
I will consider both versions according to your skills and bids.

If you need more details - feel free to ping me.

Thanks.
