Console Optimizer

Introduction

Indicore SDK ConsoleOptimizer (further Console Optimizer) is a console application for optimizing strategies that are written in Lua or Javascript and can be used in FX Trading Station II with Marketscope 2.0.

Console Optimizer can be used for optimization at large time intervals. While, in the case of Marketscope 2.0 and Indicore SDK, the time interval for optimization is limited to 42 months (or even less if you optimize on more than one symbol or cross symbol is required for calculations), Console Optimizer allows optimizing on larger time intervals depending on the available RAM capacity.

The articles provide step-by-step instructions on how to start working with Console Optimizer.
