Cant get optimisation to work

  Not sure what I am doing wrong but after defining variables and running optimisation, whether on walk forward or not, all I get is the same result with no apparent optimising going on – I am on IG version 11

  Your P variable is iterating all right, but it doesn’t make a difference to the result.
  This may come across as a truism, but it still just is as simple as that. You may have it too small to influence, or too large. Both can be tested (divide by eg. 1000 and increase by 0.001 or let it be as is and increase by 10 or 100).

  Or show your code and people may be able to help more easily. 🙂

  Or your variables are also defined in the code and therefore overriding the optimization. Remove or comment them.

  Or maybe use of the variable in a condition is disabled’ (by a switch / 0, 1, 2 etc) and /or an If Then statement somewhere in the code?
