Optimizations (genetic) does not yield results?

[Skechers]

Hello there,

Optimization was working before. I just overhauled a section and now it won't generate any results (using genetic, basic parameters).

I known optimization works when I optimize an earlier version. Any ideas as I sure would like to save time debugging :-)

I'm using Renko 8 brick. Genetic algorithm.

There must be a silly setting I changed ...
Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Caesar,

Thank you for your post.

What changes did you make when you overhauled a section? I also see you are using Renko bars. These bars are challenging for backtests because they have a functionality to remove the last ber in the series and replace it with a new Open price. This can't be simulated historically. That should be kept in mind as you get results for the Renko bars as they will not match the results from if the strategy were run on live data. It is recommended to test Renko bars on the Playback Connection since it can build bars as if they were real-time and offer more accurate fills.

The information about backtesting Renko bars is listed at the bottom of this page:

I look forward to your reply.

Many Thanks Emily, I'm not sure what I did, but it is working again now ...
