Question about Genetic Algorithm in Strategy Analyzer

[nicbizz]

Hi,

I'm completely new to the field of Genetic optimization, and have been googling to understand more.

However, most of the terms that are used in Genetic Algorithm theory is different from the ones in NT8.

For example, I see frequent references to things like chromosomes, population size, number of genes, number of generations, mutation probability, etc

Am I correct in assuming the following (NT8 term is on the left):

Generation size : population size, chromosomes
Generations: number of genes, number of generations
Mutation rate (%) : mutation probability

Thanks,
Nick

Hello nicbizz,

While I couldnt comment about what you may have read elsewhere NinjaTrader uses some specific terms which you can see descriptions of in the help guide. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._algorithm.htm

I wouldn't be able to say with any certainty about the terms you mentioned to compare them to NinjaTrader terms, if the description of those items match what is in the help guide that may be a similar concept.
