Tester parameters

 

Good morning, I have an account that I use to backtest strategies. I have a limit regarding the tester: It only tests 10K combination at a time and it doesn't apply the spread I want to use. I would like to change these settings but I don't know how to do it If someone know the way to changes thoses parameters, i'd like to atleast have 100K test by an 100K

100K combinations would probably take days to calculate if you choose period longer then a few months. Why do you need so many combinations ? I would better try to test values that make sense and thus reduce the number of combinations needed.


I often do backtesting but mostly keep number of tests around 1000.
