An important stage in all strategy development but frequently requiring extended data and parameter set evaluation. Excel VBA supported by sufficient market data can provide an excellent tool to determine the "best" parameter sets for a given market group (forex, e-minis etc.).

Profit profiles or other criteria for a given strategy can be mapped across parameter ranges and intraday/daily/weekly/monthly bar intervals to find areas of "best" results. We can also build parameter & interval scanning into any other preferred platform or application.
