Running optimization from command line : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/13468
AlessandroCarra:
Bear in mind with MT5 you cannot use your own History data, only data that comes from a Broker.
Hi everyone
I'm still getting started with MQL5, I'm sorry if it is a FAQ or has already been answered in this forum.
A friend of mine asked me if optimizations can be run programmatically. What are we trying to do is to
1) Launch a set of optimizations on different strategies at the same time.
2) Launch an optimization on datasets different from "offical data" (I'd use this to test the tester itself)
AlessandroCarra, if you are getting started with MQL5 and want to do all this optimization stuff, I can't imagine what tests you will do after becomes an expert ;-)

I've found a little "hack" to perform pt.3. I've found that there are text files (.set) containing strategy parameters in "tester" folder. If parameters cannot be set programmatically, I always can try to generate such files. Tell me if there are cleaner options aviable
Any link would be greatly appreciated :)
many thanks
