    Cancelling a backtest during optimization

    How can I conditionally cancel one of the backtests performed during optimization?

    For example, I have 2 parameters I want to optimize on: PT (profit target) and SL (stop loss). And let's say I want to run an optimization with PT from 10-100 and SL from 10-100 and optimize for max profit. However, I don't want any backtests run where SL > PT because I don't like strategies that have a risk-to-reward ratio > 1. Also, this will speed up my optimizations as it doesn't bother backtesting scenarios in that condition. How would I accomplish this in code?

    shodson, unfortunately this is not directly supported - as a workaround I would create an input parameter for your needed combinations of target and stop and then optimize this instead of the two individual values.
