The following lesson will show you how to create multiple combinations of a trading system by varying the limit value of a stop. The same technique can be applied to any type of stop (Stop loss, trailing stop, profit stop and N-Bar stop). Steps: - Update or create a new trading system - Enable the "Stop loss" by clicking on the (+) icon next to it - Click on the stop limit value - In the input field, you have to create a variable by typing a word or letter (Example: a) - Click on "Tab" to validate; a new line will appear in the optimizer grid - Select a minimum, maximum and step value Example: Minimum = 10 Minimum = 30 Step = 10 This will create three combinations. The first one has a stop loss limit of 10%, the second one has a limit of 20% and the last one has limit of 30%. - Click on 'OK' then click on "Save/Update Trading System" to save changes. - In the simulator manager, click on the "Optimize" button to backtest the different combinations you have previously created.
