I stand to be corrected, but in short the answers to your 2 questions are … 🙂

1. No
2. No

What I do is to flash through various Timeframes and a few Markets doing a backtest on max 10k bars (for speed of bt) and if a half decent equity curve shows itself then I dig deeper with appropriate range of values of values for the TF chosen. By appropriate I mean, for example, TP and SL need to be larger values for 1 hour than 1 min etc.

PS

I’ve set that v1 .itf going on demo also … we may both get virtual money rich together! 🙂
