Hello,
Currently, optimizing a strategy in ATAS is an extremely manual and time-consuming process. To find the best settings for a bot (e.g., Stop Loss, Take Profit, Indicator Period), we have to:
Open the Strategy Settings.
Change one number manually.
Reload the chart.
Open the Statistics window to write down the result.
Repeat this 100+ times.
This makes it nearly impossible to build robust strategies compared to platforms like NinjaTrader, where the "Strategy Analyzer" does this automatically.
The Proposed Solution (MVP): We don't need a complex genetic algorithm right away. We just need a simple "Iterator" added to the Backtester.
Please add an "Optimization" button next to the "Backtest" button that allows us to:
Select a Parameter: (e.g., Stop Loss)
Set Start Value: (e.g., 10)
Set End Value: (e.g., 50)
Set Step: (e.g., 1)
How it should work: The system runs the backtest automatically for every value in that range (10, 11, 12... 50) and presents a simple table showing Net Profit and Max Drawdown for each setting.
Why this matters: ATAS is currently the king of Order Flow, but it lags behind in algorithmic trading tools. Adding this feature would keep algorithmic traders on the ATAS platform instead of forcing them to export data to NinjaTrader or Sierra Chart just to optimize their settings.
