Navigation: Realtest Script Language > Syntax Element Details > OptimizeSettings Category Script Sections Description Defines the settings to use only when the script run mode is Optimize. Notes The table below lists all of the available Optimize Settings items. These correspond to the choices in the Multiple Tests and Optimization dialog box. Any optimize settings applied by a script become the new defaults for the dialog box and vice versa. The only optimize setting that is not in the dialog box is OptNoDialog. Setting Type Description OptAnchor True or False whether and how to anchor multi-interval optimizations / walk-forward OptByStrategy True or False run optimization separately for each strategy OptBySymbol True or False run optimization separately for each symbol OptClearResults True or False clear the active results window before running an optimization OptimizeMode Combinatorial, Genetic, etc. type of optimization to be performed OptIterations number run the same optimization multiple times (e.g. for randomization) OptKeepBest number only keep the N best tests (requires OptSortResults) OptKeepByDate True or False apply OptKeepBest to each OptTimeUnit date OptKeepBySymbol True or False apply OptKeepBest to each symbol OptKeepNoTrades True or False keep optimization results rows with zero trades OptMultiSaveAs True or False SaveStatsAs and/or SaveTradesAs (if specified) for each test in an optimization OptMutatePct number mutation probability for genetic optimization OptNoDialog True or False run an optimization without displaying the Optimize dialog box first OptScoreCol Results column name name of results column to use as optimization score (fitness function) OptSortResults True or False sort the results rows by OptScoreCol value after each test in an optimization OptSummaryLog True or False display a summary log at the end of an optimization run OptTestInterval number OptTimeUnit test interval for multi-interval optimizations / walk-forward OptTestLength number OptTimeUnit test length for multi-interval optimizations / walk-forward OptTimeUnit None, Years, Months, Weeks, Days time unit for multi-interval optimizations or walk-forward OptWalkForward True or False generate walk-forward parameter lists from multi-interval optimization Copyright © 2020-2025 Systematic Solutions, LLC
