+Custom Criteria lets the user create his own criteria.  Instead of choosing from a pre-defined list like in [[Performing_Optimization#Standard Criteria|Standard Criteria]], the user can script his own criteria. E.g., suppose the user wants to find the parameters that maximize the Net Profit / Max Drawdown ratio. This ratio isn't pre-defined under [[Performing_Optimization#Standard Criteria|Standard Criteria]], so it won't be in the drop-down list. However, this ratio can be created using Custom Criteria.

 It is also possible to add additional criteria such as number of trades and winning percentage.
