I'm testing a strategy on a list of S&P500 stocks. Is there a way to optimize strategy parameters for each symbol (say over a 6-month period) and then
backtest against the entire list (say over 2 month out-of-sample period) with the optimized parameters assigned per-symbol? Then repeat this process over 5-6 sliding windows
Essentially i'm trying to run a walk-forward optimization process and generate an out-of-sample equity curve, but with the per-symbol optimized strategy parameters used for each symbol during the oos run.
Please advise easiest way to code this?
thx

Also, in the out-of-sample run, want to filter symbols based on whether their best (optimized) in-sample Net Profit >0.
Couple of options - can i use ..
1) Meta-Strategy for out-of-sample and include the Strategy in it for In-sample run? Challenge is the dates are different for IS (strategy) and OOS (meta-strategy) and also symbol list for Meta-Strategy is different from Strategy (which runs per strategy)
2) Dynamic list to filter symbols in In-sample period (based on optimal performance) and use Strategy to run out-of-sample period against the dynamic list. Challenge is how do i pass the optimal per-symbol parameters evaluated in the Dynamic List to the strategy so it uses these?

You can do so using "Tools -> Script Editor". You can run backtests/optimizations programmatically, update trading system parameters and store report results.

I looked in the Quantshare directory and found *.azf scripts only for some indicators. Didn't find any help in the doc or How-to guides or Knowledge Base.
Can you point me to some sample scripts that
1) run simulation/optimizations of a strategy that iterates through each symbol in the list on a specific date-range (Not sure how to invoke a strategy and update the Date and Symbol settings, access the symbols in a list)
2) store these optimal parameter values for each symbol (i guess these would be stored in an array within the script?)
3) run an out-of-sample backtest on the list by plugging in these parameter values back in the strategy script for each symbol.

After selecting "Tools -> Script Editor", click on the "Help" button at the bottom in the new control. This will display all available functions. The rest is just C# coding.
If you need help to implement this script, you can hire one of our programmers to do this for you. Just contact support for that.
