Tuning my strategy for a set of stocks
Posted: Sep 01 2012
I have a strategy that I would like to individually optimize for each of my 50 stocks in my trade list. Is there a way where I can use the backtester to optimize the input settings for my strategy for each instrument, then apply them to a particular chart with the strategy during trading?
For example, lets say I have AAPL, RGLD, BIDU, GOLD, WMT... (50 stocks)...
Then I have a scanner that will let me which stock has a setup.... lets say its aapl.
I would like then to open up a chart with my strategy and apply the optimized aapl input settings to it and then start the strategy , as it will execute if an entry occurs and manage my exit.
I am hoping that the backtester will allow me to bulk optimize my strategy against my 50 stocks on my trade list then I can just apply the proper optimized settings to my trading chart whenever I want.
