What is Optimax?
Optimax is a stand-alone program that runs on your PC and works with TradeStation 8 during a strategy optimization to super-charge its' back-testing and optimization capabilities.
Optimax assembles a set of easy-to-read views of your strategy's behavior that quickly show you how it responds as the inputs and price series change. The biggest Optimax advantage comes from using our powerful genetic algorithms that slash your optimization times by factors of thousands, and our extremely popular built-in price modulator that modifies the price series dynamically during optimization to drastically reduce the probability of curve-fitting the results.
Why Optimax?
Optimax helps you perform comprehensive optimizations quicker. Optimizing 10, 20 or even 250 inputs is a matter of hours, not years.
Save money
The optimization of a strategy is one of the keys to success and cannot be over-valued. A professional high-performance tool dedicated to this purpose can drastically improve your results and decrease the chances of costly mistakes.
Concentrate on the important thing - your strategy. Quickly understand your strategy performance in new ways, not just with the ways TradeStation provides. Optimax is designed for speed and easy of use; its' intuitive user interface is transparent, straight-forward and shields you from the nuts and bolts of optimization analysis and it's ground breaking genetic algorithms save you time for more strategywriting, not optimization-waiting.
All strategies supported
Take all of your strategies and optimize them with Optimax. It's easy with the pre-tested EasyLanguage functions we provide. Leave nothing to chance - you can optimize them all with Optimax.
Search options galore
Whether you need died-in-the-wool exhaustive searches, or want to explore the leading edges of genetic optimization technology, Optimax is the right tool for you. It performs standard exhaustive searches displaying the results in several time-saving formats, and it performs genetic optimizations with the same simple ease-of-use interface and battery of intuitive indicators that professionals want and need.
Dare to compare
There aren't any other programs out there that do what Optimax does.Compare Optimax with Rina Systems software or the other add-ins available for TradeStation - what you conclude is up to you. Other tools make a lot of noise about delivering, but Optimax delivers and packs a punch. Forget the fuss about what more to buy with your hard-earned income, Optimax is the one essential add-in every TradeStation user needs.
Optimizing strategies can be done with the computer you have
You used to believe this, before you added 10 or more inputs to your strategy and seriously started wondering how you could fit a Cray into your den or office. Well, give it a try now with Optimax. You'll see a world of difference, and you won't get cussed out by the missus for floor plan violations.
What is a Genetic Optimization?
A genetic optimization is like running a TradeStation back testing optimization on a thousand Cray supercomputer computers. Simply put, it's a smart search. TradeStation's current algorithm, the exhaustive search, evaluates every possible combination of strategy inputs and determines the best of them all. It is thorough, and time consuming. A genetic algorithm searches in a much more efficient manner; it samples many different combinations at random to find a set of promising inputs, and then modifies those combinations using methods that mimic biological evolution to determine optimum solutions. When used on problems that involve a great number of combinations, genetic searches are many orders of magnitude faster than exhaustive searches, with results that are less likely to be curve fitted.
How can Optimax be that fast?
Optimax employs genetic algorithms to speed up processing. These work by eliminating calculations that have the lowest probability of being useful. Using this method, the increase in optimization speed can be dramatic.Genetic algorithms work smarter than exhaustive searches. Instead of checking every possible input combination, genetic algorithms quickly narrow down the desired combinations, finding and focusing on the areas that are most profitable and most stable, enabling you to optimize your strategies in a fraction of the time. With Optimax it is practical to optimize many inputs and combinations; 10, 25, or even 100 inputs resulting in millions of combinations can be optimized in a few hours. For example, in a test case we optimized a strategy with 16 inputs having a possible 5.184E+21 combinations. On a 2.8GHz system our test strategy took approximately 4.3 seconds per iteration. Using a genetic search that converged in 50 generations and having 100 individuals in each generation, the optimization provided satisfactory results in 6 hours. With these same parameters, an exhaustive search would take 706,849,314,984,576 years, or approximately 706 trillion years.
It is easy to see from these numbers that the speed and power of Optimax are unmatchable, assuming of course you are happy with the results of the optimization compared to those of an exhaustive search. Considering the fantastic gain in speed, you might be tempted settle for a trade-off in optimization results, but with Optimax you don't have to. In fact, the results obtained are in our opinion, better than those obtained using an exhaustive search because Optimax is much less likely to focus on combinations of parameters in unstable regions; exhaustive searches have no knowledge of nearneighbour performance. In fact, you must spend additional time after an exhaustive search is complete to validate that the results set is stable and the combination is not curve-fitted. With Optimax, a curve-fitted result is much less likely because of the nature of the search algorithm.
