Alternatively if there is a way to start, run a back-test with a given set of parameters then output the results to a file or something, that would be perfectly acceptable.
Another reason I am hoping for a way to hook into the optimization or back testing process is possible GPU acceleration.
I noticed that if the optimizer wants to go beyond the default 10k tests it does so, I have even seen it optimize as high as 17k tests and change, as long as it's making advances it will keep going. However with that said I would love to see it have a ceiling that can be set, instead of 10k initial results it would be nice to set it to any number we want.
So far it looks like you can customize just about every aspect associated with automated trading. Except for the optimization algorithms used when optimizing a given strategy.
So for instance if I had a specific type of GA or maybe a different stochastic optimization technique I want to use.
While the algorithms currently available are good I would like to use something else but don't see any hints at how that might be possible.
