I am using TS 8.5.

I have a strategy i was backtesting. It was going great! The results were great at 30k plus. I had given a lot of parameters for testing so it was taking a while. I was using the genetic optimization. However, computer turned off and now i have lost all results and have to redo the dang thing.

it was running for 48 hours and had 30+ days remaining to complete.

now i have to start again.

whats the best approach? do i give parameters for everything at once?
do i back test a few things first and then others. (e.g. MAs first then stops?)

how do you back test? how long does your startegy take to complete?
are their any resources that i can use to learn more.

This is just an initial phase with no money management built in. so i am afraid that when i start to back test the same startegy with money management it may take forever.

please help!

if you have a testing plan...
you can download MultiCharts trial.
it is the full version, the real McCoy, that you can use for 30 days, FREE !

MultiCharts utilizes multi-core for backtesting.
If you have a quadcore machine, you can save ~ 50+% of the testing time.

here's one of the test I did a while back.
