Problems with getting any optimisation results

  Hello,

   

  I have played around with the optimisation previously and its worked fine but I am now unable to get any different results. Very basic code and strategy but first time playing around with this all, so slowly learning.

  I am trying to change the c1 and c2 so that it tests different RSI levels. Have even tried entering into optimisation as the indicator1 and 2 for the lable in program.

   

  Secondly I have also tried testing the optimisation for the Starting and Adding variables for buying different cash amounts of shares. Again, still same gain and % on each variables result.

   

  What am I doing wrong?

   

  Thanks

  To test RSI level replace 30 and 70 with x1 and x2, or whatever name you prefer, then in the variable form enter them assigning a start, end and a step value for each one of them, then activate walk forward, then start backtest.
