Optimization with ToS?

September 20th, 2013, 10:52 AM

Hello,

I am coding some strategies for ToS, and I am wondering if it is possible to optimize the strategy within the code to just output the best parameters.

Lets say it is a simple MACD crossing. Would it be possible to code the strategy in a way it will test for different values (using a for loop) get the total strategy P/L for each value and then only display the best P/L parameters set?

Or, on the other hand I have to do this by hand?

Thanks for any tip

Would be nice but I don't think there are that many options for strategies in thinkorswim. I do it manually changing the variables on the studies, but it is all very basic.

Yes, I finally talked to them. They told me it is something they intend to do , but not in the near future.
