Optimization - results discarded as insignificant

 

 I created a basic EA - buy the up bar.

Loaded it, compiled, and clicked Optimize.

The Expert Properties Inputs were Value 5.0; Start 5.0; Step 5.0; Stop 100.0

AUDUSD H1; spread 10

Period selected was previous 12 months.

Without the Optimization I should have seen profits, except I have negative net profit.

In the Tester window: No Optimization Results; No Optimization Graph; Journal in last thread reads "2017.07.14 12:00:42.597 There were 74 passes done during optimization, 74 results have been discarded as insignificant".

I followed precisely what my EA teacher had on his video.

 
  1. There should be a way to see even the insignificant results - I assume the right mouse click on the tester-results but start the help of the terminal and read the articles about Tester.
  2. Change your EA or/and the parameter your setup seems to have produced only negative results!
 
In the optimization results tab, right click -> show useless results. Then rerun the optimization.
