Most important thing to consider in optimization results?
Don't use strategy optimizer ... it leads to curve fitting (imo).

What field from your results to you pay the most attention to?
You may try Returns / DrawDown. Meaning you Divide the Returns by the DrawDown. $ or % doesn't really matter. The Higher the number the better.
Anyways, thats the fields I'm using currently. But this is really a question of [Risk vs Reward] or [Fear vs Greed]. Therefore what's important to me may_not work for you. And this subject is going to become very subjective very fast.
Have you read this article? https://championship.mql5.com/2012/en/2008.
It talks about two of the common criterion we talk about here. The Zero_Curve or CoinToss_Curve. And the Return/DrawDown on the bottom.

Hi all,
When optimizing to find the best settings a usually go for a combination of the best profit factor, lowest draw down and largest profit. However this can lead to confusion as many many results have good combinations and I end up with too many to choose from. What I am looking to do is narrow down the results and I thought that focusing on one field as a base filter would help. What filter to you all use as a base to build on the best settings from optimizations, expected pay off perhaps?
