Then I shortened the time frame and got different optimal parameter combinations. Surprisingly most of them were loss making - and the top combination from the first run was not in the list. So I manually entered this combination and surprise it did make money, not the best one but far better than most of the results presented by the SA. These runs stop after some seconds though the time estimate in above 3 Minutes.
Playing around with this it and looking at the results it seems the optimizer stops the run after testing the parameter combinations the minimal value for the second parameter and ignores the rest of the parameter sphere...
Switching back to the longer time frame gives a long parameter run (with decent results - presumably). Suggestions?
