So if I first test the waters on IS for 10k bars and then extend as per your recommendation that sounds like a plan.

When you say 10k bars that is static for either 15 min, 30 min or 4hr TF I hope?

I have to ask wouldn’t it get straight to the point if everyone tested over the 100k bars straight of the bat? I understand the computer make time to process this much data but aren’t we doing this anyway by using smaller increments to get to 100k evenutaully? My thoughts on this are say we back test for 10k bars and then 50k bars and then 100k bars we find a certain optimization – Wouldn’t doing 100k bars straight away cut straight to the point and show you the results that work best over the collective 100k bars without doing each sample size?
