first update: CS3 crashes at the very end of optimizing:

and it really is a CPU hog, didn't expect it to be so intense. The strategy:

Bollinger Bands
The bar closes below the Lower Band
Smoothing method - Simple

Added the complete error message as well.
Other thoughts: only 2 logic conditions seem to be profitable ("The bar closes above the Projected Y" and "The bar is higher than the Projected Y"). In the crossover CS3 there has to be a cross between the spline and a MA, right? Why not between 2 splines?
edit:
it crashes if more than 1 parameter is being optimized.
