Alternative optimisation targets in Metatrader optimiser

 

The metatrader optimizer allows you to use Balance, Profit Factor, Expected Payoff, Maximal Drawdown & DrawDown Percent as Optimisation targets.


I would like to optimise on other metrics, for example K-Ratio.


Does anyone know if there is a way this can be accomplished with the MetaTrader optimiser? If it can be done, can anyone point me towards any information about how to do this?


Thank You

Not as far as I'm aware. Not only is there no K ratio, there's not even a Sharpe ratio. And such a thing would require a big change to the strategy tester/optimiser: it doesn't currently produce a time-based rather than trade-based history.
