Note: When optimizing for maximum return, the optimizer will often find strategies
that hold only one fund, or the minimum number of funds you allow. This may not be
the most robust system. See the Chapter on Building better Systems for more advice.
The optimizer will determine the Top% value for your strategy using the range of values
in the following boxes:
In this example, a value between 10% and 50% will be optimized.
To use the Adjust Buy and Sell options check either the Yes or Optimize buttons in the
following screen:
If you use Yes, the optimizer will always try the adjustment option. If you check
Optimize, the optimizer will “consider” using this functionality.
See the standard manual for complete details on this option. If you decide to use the
function, you will need to input the Adjustment Index (the default is SP-CP, the S&P 500
Index) as well as ranges for the adjustment factors and the EMA ranges. Remember, an
adjustment factor less than 1.0 will decrease the parameter values, while adjustment
factors greater than 1.0 will increase those values.
