In Sample and Out of Sample Testing *Walk Forward Optimization (Error)

[KyriakosCyprus]

Greetings,

I looked for In Sample and Out of Sample Testing through Walk Forward Optimization.

All i receive is the error *(The strategy must have at least one parameter to optimize)

Here is the screenshot of my settings whilst returning the error.

What I am trying to achieve is to test my strategy between 2018 - 2020 for out of sample and 2021 in sample.

Hello KyriakosCyprus,

This strategy does not have anything to optimize.

An optimization is used to run many backtests with the inputs incrementing through a range of values. If there are no inputs, the script cannot run any other way and there is nothing to optimize.

Try optimizing the Sample MA Crossover included with NinjaTrader and set the Fast to 1;10;1.

Below is a link to a video on optimizing.
