Limit Orders cause no results in Simple Optimization

3 replies

8 years ago #114418

If your strategy is generated with only Limit Orders (no Market or Stop Orders), when you run the strategy through Simple Optimization, no results are generated. The Original Strategy’s result, however, is updated based on the currently loaded data set. It’s just the other parameters tested via the optimization that produce no results. It doesn’t matter if you have Brute Force or Genetic selected; no results are generated either way. The counter does show that the appropriate number of test runs are being conducted, despite no results displaying.

It’s possible this has a similar effect on strategies which incorporate Limit as well as Market and/or Stop Orders, perhaps failing to test only the Limit Orders during an optimization, but I haven’t tested that.

Thanks for reporting this. I will test it

Thank you. Just noticed a possibly related problem:

If only Limit Orders are ticked (no Market or Stop) during the Build Strategies process, not all of the qualifying strategies are moved over from Last Generation into the Databank.

For example, if in Ranking Options, you set Net Profit as the sole qualifying criterion, some of the highest ranking Net Profit strategies never make it to the Databank. It’s as though something related to the Limit Orders prevents SQ from evaluating some – but not all – of those strategies to be suitable to be moved to the Databank.

Simple optimization is working for me properly with strategy that uses limit orders only. Don’t forget to set parameters for optimization.

I got all strategies into databank according to ‘Dismiss criteria’ set (Net Profit used for optimization)

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
