Genetics

The Designer supports optimization both by the brute force method and based on genetic algorithms. Genetic optimization significantly speeds up the process of finding optimal parameters.

To enable Genetic optimization, you need to:

• switch the mode:

  

• set the optimization parameters:

  

• as the target function (Fitness), you can specify an extended formula:

  

  For example, make calculations not only by Profit but also relative to its Maximum Drawdown. Available mathematical functions are similar to the Formula block.

Tip

Optimization through genetics is not deterministic. Therefore, determining the exact number of iterations and, consequently, the necessary total time is impossible, unlike brute-force search.
