Why is optimization graph tab missing from Mt5 Strategy Tester

The optimization tab will be available if you have chosen from the relevant drop-down menu.

Yes that's enabled. I see the Optimization Results tab because of that, but not the Optimization "Graph" tab

Is it perhaps just hidden behind other charts or other windows?

Go to the "Windows" menu item and check, and if necessary, tile or cascade the windows.

I don't think that's it either :( I attached a snapshot the Optimization Graph tab is missing from the strategy tester window

That is not where the Optimisation Graph appears, and I have already shown you that. It appears amongst he other charts and windows.

Ah ok thanks! I was going by the documentation for MT5 -

https://www.metatrader5.com/en/automated-trading/strategy-tester

That shows the Optimization Graph tab within strategy tester window

Is it still possible to see a 3D version of chart in the graph tab? I do see the graph amongst the other charts like you showed but it's a dispersed data graph really just showing the balance info I believe. I want to see the balance/profit/loss graph for every parameter that I used in the Input like MACD trend changing from 26 to 30 step 1 for e.g. I don't see a graph like that. Is there a setting that I need to check ON ?

thanks again

The documentation is outdated, unfortunately.

Yes! Right-click inside the graph area and you will have a context menu with several options.
