How do you suggest optimizing parameters without overfitting?
Great question! Currently, the bot uses a global parameter configuration, which means the same settings apply across all symbols. This design choice helps prevent overfitting issues that arise when trying to optimize for multiple assets simultaneously.
Best practices with the current setup:Focus on one symbol at a time - Optimize parameters specifically for the asset you're trading to avoid cross-asset overfitting. The bot has been extensively tested and performs best on EURUSD, which I recommend as your primary symbol.
Use walk-forward validation - Optimize on historical data, then validate on a more recent out-of-sample period before going live
Periodic re-optimization - Market conditions change, so reassess parameters regularly (e.g., monthly or quarterly)
Keep a holdout test set - Never use your final test data during the optimization processOne advantage of this bot is that the parameter set is intentionally simple - fewer parameters mean less risk of overfitting and more robust performance across different market conditions. The single-symbol approach actually helps maintain discipline and prevents the common pitfall of over-optimizing across different market behaviors.
That said, I'm considering adding symbol-specific parameter profiles in a future update for users who want to manage multiple assets more efficiently. Would that be useful for your use case?
