Perhaps an idea to specify the Count of trades as a function of available bars in the backtest periode?

you will have to adjust according to time frame, eg 5 minute has many new trades than 240 minute

Thank you - that's useful. Do you mean 100 minimum per year or overall?

I think that you might consider 'Count of Trades' as requiring 100 minimum so as to have statistical significance.

Just an opinion.

Bit of a broad topic, but I wanted to see what other traders are doing in terms of initial settings for the Reactor. Im searching for H1 strats across 21 combinations. Initially, I use:

R-Squared : Min 60
SQN : 1.5
Profit Factor : 1
Count of Trades : (Backtest years X 50) - 50
Return DD : (Backtest years X 0.5) - 0.5

Once I have 100, I then tighten up a bit.

Interested to see what combinations other people use to find strategies - Im struggling on some currency pairs, e.g. EURUSD finds loads of strats, but AUDNZD takes alot longer.

Thanks for sharing
