Hello
I am trying to find some answers into some issue i am having while doing optimizations on an EA i have.
The main problem is i feel like i am doing optimization of the optimization. Meaning: For example with a simple crossover EA when
i choose the optimization data to test up to 500 pips stop loss it gives me the results and i find something that really suits me well, then
if i do another test with optimization stop loss at 800 pips it of course gives me different results but the good result from the last test where i
inputed 500 as my stop loss dosent appear in the new test where i used 800 pip stop loss as my input, is this clear? so i have to change
the stop loss step by step, 100, 200, 300 in the optimization settings to check each one, i would have thought if i put just 1000 stop loss
it would have given me for every step the best of the best...
Anybody know about this issue? could it be due to my specific EA perhaps?
Thanks
