Stop Guessing During Strategy Optimization – Compare Every Backtest with RunCompare for StrategyQuant

Every trader has experienced it. You tweak one parameter, run a backtest, make another change, and after ten iterations you can no longer remember which modification actually improved your strategy.

That’s exactly the problem RunCompare, a free community-built plugin for StrategyQuant, is designed to solve.

Instead of relying on memory or manually tracking results in spreadsheets, RunCompare automatically records every backtest, compares it with previous runs, and gives you a complete optimization history in a single table. Instantly see whether each change improved or worsened your strategy using clear visual indicators and a smart scoring system based on multiple performance metrics—not just one.

In this video, you’ll discover:

• How RunCompare automatically tracks every optimization run.
• Why optimizing for a single metric can be misleading.
• How the built-in スコア helps identify truly robust strategies.
• How to organize your optimization process with notes and automatic history.
• Why finding a stable parameter region is more important than finding one lucky backtest.

Whether you’re building mean reversion, trend-following, or custom strategies, this plugin helps transform optimization from guesswork into a structured, repeatable research process.
