Different traders use different criteria to define strategy performance. Some traders use the highest net profit, while other traders use the lowest drawdown. MultiCharts lets the trader define his own criteria.
Optimization can have detrimental effects if the user searches for the combination of inputs based solely on the best performance over a period of historical data and focuses to too much on market conditions that may never occur again. This approach is known as over-optimization or curve-fitting. Performance will not be the same in real trading, since historical patterns are highly unlikely to be repeated.
