Hey there,
I looked into the support board on these topics and couldnt really find anything satisfactory.

1) Why not creating a simple equity line page for the backtesting/replay stats?

2) SC is quite easy to code on and you can develop complex strategies which work pretty well, but looks like people definitely needs something to optimize or walk forward the variables.

Tnx

1. If you are referring to an Account Balance for simulated trading, that capability is coming in the coming months. Not sure how soon we can get to it.

2. This is an area of development, that Sierra Chart does not support and there are no plans for this.

For crazybears.

Onn from Trade29.com is working on something in that direction .
He is one of the best programmers who work with SC.
He is beta testing something already but I reckon he has the skills to get to something useful done.

Get in touch with him and ref to this conversation, I m sure he has something to say about this.

Hi Crazybears and User92311, I am definitely interested in this Optimization tool as well. Did profsoftware.com and/or trade29.com ever build it?

hello everyone , i ve bought the optimizer, the first module and it s working fine. The guys is very helpful and so is the software.
Obviously these are the first versions so probably for a while there will be bugs popping out that would need to be fixed but at least finally there is something we can use with Sierra!

If SC has optimization or walk forward opt, I would never switch or use another platform. Right now though, have to develop the same strat on two platforms using two langs, which sucks..

aelagha, i think the backtester has been polished. I'm switching over from NT to Sierra, so haven't actually used the software or the tester, but it looks to be working, and with some better features than the NT optimizer. https://profsoftware.com/bt/

This is an interesting thread,

Sierra Charts, above, in a message dating from 2015 you mention "not supporting and not planning to expand the 'optimization' and 'forward walking' of strategies",

Did your position on the topic remain the same in 2022 or is there a team working on this (if so, eta?) ?

Love the platform and asking before getting other additional platforms for the above.

Thanks!

"not supporting and not planning to expand the 'optimization' and 'forward walking' of strategies"

We are not currently working on this, nor can we say when/if we could spend time on this.
