Default orders - increase number of combinations

#1 Postby tonko » Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:40 pm

Hi,

I am using FT for bactesting to find best solution of stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) settings, for example 50/50, 50/100, 50/150,... till 1000/1000 etc. I am trading GBP/JPY, so big range...

But in default settings we can put just 10 orders (CTRL+B/S+key (1...0)...

But if I want to test more settings... I have to set up SL and TP (max. 10),
then I run testing for year..., then again setup SL/TP, run testing, again setup SL/TP, and so on...

IMHO solution:
Increase number of orders to CTRL+B/S + key (1..0), + key (Q...P) - actually another 10 pieces, + key (SHIFT+1...SHIFT+P) - another 20 pieces, and + key (ALT+1 ... SHIFT+P)...

or to create multi order ... 25 or 50 or 75 like nowadays 10 but should be done by pressing 1 key...

I know, that forex is boring, but testing is more boring, but this is not testing but just competition in pressing buttons.

Anyway FT is excellent program. What normally used to take 3-4 weeks in excel and manual backtesting, now I can do it in several days, but anyway I will highly appreciate some kind of help... with pressing buttons.

Thank you very much.
