 ====== Optimizer ======
-The Optimizer is a tool that will attempt to make the current strategy better. It will decide if the strategy is better, depending on the options you choose in the optimizer settings.

 Always optimize only profitable strategies!
-It is a bad idea to optimize a losing strategy. The optimizer will try to "rectify" the strategy by making it trade less which in turn will result in less money lost but this will not make the strategy profitable.

-**Numeric values range** - takes the current value of an indicator parameter, say 86. Then it applies the selected option. For example if we select "± 10 Steps" and the Step is set to 1. This means the min value for the parameter will become (86-10=)76 and the max value will be (86+10=)96.

 **Search best** - The option you select will be used to compare new versions of the strategy to the current one. The Optimizer will replace the current variant of the strategy with a new one if the new one is better.
-**Out of sample** - If you enable this option an OOS test will be ran when coming up with optimized versions of the strategy. Only passing strategies will be considered.

+**Optimize Preset Indicators** - When the option is enabled the Optimizer makes all parameters available for optimization. When it is disabled, the Preset Indicators parameters are unchecked in the Strategy Parameters list.
+==== Optimizer Acceptance Criteria ====
+{{:eas-guide:optimizer-acceptance-criteria.png?nolink|Optimizer - Acceptance Criteria}}
+This tab provides you with the opportunity to add specific criteria for your overall backtest, or separately for the In sample and the Out of Sample parts.
+In order to do this, just click on the "Add acceptance criteria" button and choose one or more options from the drop-down menu.
