Great job Spotware! The genetic algorithm is great, really clever stuff. I have a single request. 

Can we ask the optimizer to try all 28 of the major symbols and tell us what the ideal parameters are for all pairs combined? I want to avoid tuning a bot to an individual symbol. Currently I will have to run the optimizer 28 times and exhaustively compare the results.

Thanks again.

Do you want to find the Symbol that shows the best results?

Yes, but not just that. More importantly I want to run the same settings on multiple symbols at once in the optimizer.

I want to create a bot and have a single set of parameters that I can run on 28 of the major pairs. Some pairs will lose money, some will win, but on average those settings will make a profit.

I'm sorry there is a small mistake with my post. Where I said...

"I have to set my timezone to UTC+5 in cAlgo"

...I meant to say...

"I have to set my timezone to UTC-5 in cAlgo"

There is no other ways to get series. Because of technical reasons GetSeries returns value when next tick comes to the platform. We plan to change this behavior in the future.

If 28 calls take 3 minutes during initialization of one indicator instance, the initialization of several indicators running in parallel supposed to take the same 3 minutes because most of the time all indicators will wait for new ticks.

That's even worse. I'm fetching on many currencies that may not have ticks for a long time, therefore my indicator could take even longer to start because of these slow ones. Is there any estimate on when this will be changed? I clearly can't use cTrader or cAlgo until this has been changed. Pretty disappointing.
