Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could
potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without
jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only
those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of
future results

EWFO is now 8 years old, and prices will be going up at the end of the month. There has been no price increase in 9 years despite continued updates and support.
If you want a copy, or second copy please buy soon.

Paypal link at the bottom of the page.

todays build onwards
has auto-detect to pull files from ts9.5 or ts10 folder. Will use whatever is the last used version of ts.

Has shortcuts so you can click on ts9.5 or ts10 folders. VIP you must run ewfo.exe as windows administrator for this create link in ts9.5. After that you dont need to be administrator

download, unzip the updated files and copy into your ewfo folder. Overwrite the 3 files enclosed

next build of ewfo
montecarlo WF. Im really happy with this result, 1/2 the curves are above the original one

This feature is in GSB now too.

Whats much harder is to give a ranking of how good the WF's are. We are still working on this.

Minimum Number of Iterations?


The documentation suggests:

I prefer 10,000 iterations as a minimum, or using genetic - 10% of the iterations of brute force. Whatever number is larger. Normally I keep generations at 100. If optimization takes too long, you may have to lower the amount of iterations somewhat. Too few iterations will not give a robust Walk Forward.

If I am only optimizing one or two parameters, it can be difficult to get 10,000 iterations.
For example:
1. If I optimize one parameter from 0 to 10, should I set the increment to 0.001 to get 10,000 test?
2. If I optimize two parameter from 0 to 10, should I set the increment to 0.1 to get 10,000 test?

@viking
with 2 parameters ignore the 10,000
just do brute force
is value1=rsi(close,len) you could do len from 2 to 300 (steps between 2 or 10) and y -100 to 100 step 5 etc
doing too fine is counterproductive.
later you might find 20 to 60 was the rough range to use, and not need to go to 300

with lengths, ie rsi example above, you should lever use non integer lengths. IE lenght 2.5 bars is not valid
