optimize and current settings

Hi,


i have setup strategy with my signal script, which contains about 30 inputs.
If i now press the optimize button on the format page, i don´t get the current settings of my signal script. Why ?
Is there a solution, because i don´t want to enter all 30 inputs again and again.

IB provides backfill for one year.
start your TWS, set your data server mode to online, and check the box download historical data.
Open the chart for eur.gbp, 1min aks for your period and MC will download them from IB.

Add two symbols to your chart: 5min and 30min resolution
Place your study on the 5min Symbol.

You can access quotes and functions from both symbols, using "of data1"

if the 30min symbol is your data2 symbol, then you can access the close:
