-The acceptance criteria work based on the strategy backtest. The strategy backtest results can be seen in the **Strategy > OOS Monitor** tab or in the **Strategy > Report** tab. We recommend using the OOS Monitor since there you can see the three distinct zones and their backtest stats.

-This is important for the Generator and Optimizer in order for their backtest results to be trustworthy. If there are too few trades, the parameters below might have good-looking values, but in the same time harm your profits. For example if you have a win/loss ratio of 1.0, it is great, but if the trade count is only one, this strategy not one you can rely on.

 ==== Min. Backtest quality ====
-The EA Studio backtesting engine is very fast because it operates with bar data. Very rarely however this leads to ambiguities in trade execution. For example if there are protections like Stop Loss or Take Profit it might be important if the price went to bar high or bar low price first. For such bars the backtest engine cannot tell which happened first so it marks the bar as "ambiguous". This happens rarely but this criterion allows you to require a high percentage of the bars to be unambiguous to consider the strategy good enough.
