Optimisation Report
11 Dec 2024, 13:41


I dont understand the logic of why the Optimisation output tabs have now been consolidated into a single “report” (that cant be exported, printed or even selected!) but that aside my main issue is with the formatting of the equity curve.

Prior to November's release the Equity tab on Optimsation used to look something like this:  

Trade number along the x-axis and zoomable (of sorts, by increasing the size of the chart panel).  Not exportable but at least I could take decent screen shots.  I liked it.

Now the chart is squished onto a report that is to my mind particularly impractical - same results as above now look like this:

Why the switch to date along the bottom?  It screws everything up, especially when you're trying to rank optimisation output on smoothness of equity curve etc.  The panel cant be resized so you're stuck with that.  Yes, I can transfer over to the backtest tab (where the old equity chart still lives) but that defeats being able to flip through the best performers and get a visual feel.

I really think this report tab is a retrograde step.  I assume introduced as a compromise to allow > 20 results shown.

At the very least could we see the same equity curve graphic on the Optimisation report as is shown in the Backtest tab (ie trade number rather than date on x axis. Please.
