I use this settings of WF. Sorry it is complicated for me to explain with my bad English. PRT is in French with me and I do not have the right words in English. I attach an image.

80% IN sample and 20% Out of sample x5 “occurences” ( I do not know in english).

If I just have 1 optimized results i take it. If I have several variables that give good results, I run a classic backtest and I keep the best.

For example on this strategy I gave tp of 5 to 30 with step of 1.  WF gives me TP 9 and TP 10 on Dax according to the periods.  I test tp 9 and tp 10 in a classic backest on 200k and i keep tp 10 finally.

I do not know if it’s the best way… I am not an expert 🙂

WF-2.png

ok so…

On the DAX cfd M1.

Time range : 9:00 to 17:30 = 1 pts spread / 17:30 to 22:00 = 2 pts spread  ( french price. check time and spread for your country)

Optimized with WF :

TP : 10 and SL : 50

RSI > 60

Average 7 and average 150 are the best on 200k.

Backtest 200k units with spread. Not test in real yet.
