Hi Lavio,

It is not in our immediate plans. However we can consider this in the future.

And what does make an idea to be "in our immediate plans"?

I have noticed a lot of suggestions in the foruns. Some are good. But... 

It is a pity. I think CTrader is the best plataform to manual usage. But, if you want to program robots... and this means a lot of backtesting and optimization based on reliable data, it is not so good.

The optimization is weak. Why do not you focus on this issue?

A * very important * optimizing feature is that one you find in other plataforms ... I do not remember now how they call it and I am trying to remember exacly how it works ... you take a piece of past data, optimize the robot and WALK backtesting forward applying the best optimization to see the result... then do this in a loop, stepping over the past to the present. This gives you a real overview on how an optimization works in a relative future.

Also, you say it is a "genetic algorithm". But I do not see any genetic about it. It seems to be just random paramenter choices. If it has any algorithm it seems to be very superficial when compared with the ones used in Ninja, for example. Why do not you make it better? It is quit obvious it needs to.
