Sortable data fields include:

  • Final balance
  • Indicator input parameters
  • Trade count
  • Profitable trades
  • Lossing trades
  • Maximum profit
  • Minimum profit

The strategy optimizer also includes a visual data matrix that can help you quickly pinpoint input combinations that yield the best equity returns.

Read Demo Disclaimer

Demo Account: Although demo accounts attempt to replicate real markets, they operate in a simulated market environment. As such, there are key differences that distinguish them from real accounts; including but not limited to, the lack of dependence on real-time market liquidity and the availability of some products which may not be tradable on live accounts. The operational capabilities when executing orders in a demo environment may result in atypically, expedited transactions; lack of rejected orders; and/or the absence of slippage. Additionally, updates to demo accounts may not coincide with those of real accounts.
