+ | This area shows the filtered and sorted strategies of the collection. Each row shows a strategy with its basic statistical parameters. FSB Pro creates the balance charts in those boxes in the moment it does the testing of the strategy (in the editor, generator or optimizer) so the data in the box is from the last strategy backtest calculation. This is important. For example if you used the generator with 20% OOS, the generator will use only the first 80% of the (in-sample) data, without using the last 20%.Therefore, | ||
