Optimization of a strategy..

Hello there,

Usual Saturday night for me.. sitting @ home while the city (my agemates) kick it hard at the local clubs..lame... but at least i have some wine... right? ok.. anyhow..I'm trying to learn how to optimize an EA, but everytime i select the paramaters i want optimized and run the darn thing, i get the same result:

"2010.05.02 00:02:32There were 81 passes done during optimization, 81 results have been discarded as insignificant"

What the heck is that?!!! I'm tortured.. Anyhow can some one lend some insight?

I feel bad that I'm always on here looking for help, but yet i have lent little help to others... I'm still very fresh at all this, so my help would probably do more harm the good... but once i get my head above water i'll will do my best to repay the favor and help the forum has afforded me..

oh, and the parameters i'm checking for are :
Stoploss and take profit!

Right click in the optimization results tab and make sure "Skip Useless Results" is unchecked.

Those 81 passes were all unprofitable.

Thanks Ronald..
do you know if the metatrader time is based on EST?

It isn't. It's based on broker time.
