Optimize check box

Tick this check box to find the moving average values that gave the greatest overall profit over the time period shown in the graph, using the Type, Go Long, and Go Short settings you have specified. This backtest may take several seconds to execute, after which the Average 1 and Average 2 settings on the Backtest tab are changed to those that produced the greatest profit, and the Results box will show details of trading with these settings. A Profits graph is displayed beneath the Results box. This represents as shaded dots the profit for each combination of moving average periods, with the lightest dots representing the highest profit. You may cancel the backtest at any time by clicking the Cancel button.
