 The **acceptance criteria** are widely used in EA Studio (in the [[eas-guide:generator|Generator]], [[eas-guide:reactor|Reactor]], [[eas-guide:validator|Validator]], [[eas-guide:optimizer|Optimizer]]). The acceptance criteria serve as a filter when a new strategy is generated or enters EA Studio. If the strategy passes it will be pushed to the [[eas-guide:collection|Collection]]. For example if acceptance criteria are enabled in the Optimizer it will not display strategies that do not pass the acceptance criteria. The **acceptance criteria** are widely used in EA Studio (in the [[eas-guide:generator|Generator]], [[eas-guide:reactor|Reactor]], [[eas-guide:validator|Validator]], [[eas-guide:optimizer|Optimizer]]).

 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 because there you can see the three distinct zones and their backtest stats. The acceptance criteria work based on the strategy backtest.

 If you find a strategy with the Generator that you like you can set the acceptance criteria so the generator will find similar strategies. Just go to the **Strategy > OOS Monitor** tab and see the results of the backtest. Then enter them in the acceptance criteria settings. For example if you liked a strategy that has a drawdawn of 8% in the acceptance criteria settings enter a number that is a little bit looser - 10%  for Maximum drawdawn etc. From now on the generator will only give you strategies that fit these criteria. If you find a strategy with the Generator that you like you can set the acceptance criteria so the generator will find similar strategies.
