When putting my strategy to the test in the Strategy Analyzer, I set the "NinjaScriptStrategyParameters" option to "Optimize" as seen in the first image.
I set it to show the 5 best results based on "Max. net Profit" which can be seen in the second photo. As you can see, the parameters for the First and Third iterations are almost identical except for one thing, the First has "False" for "(Backtest)" and the Third has True for "(Backtest)".
Here are a few questions I have:
1.) Why does the optimization include iterations with Backtest set to True and False?
2.) What is the optimization doing when Backtest is set to True and False?
3.) How could the performance change, as seen here, by setting Backtest from True to False?
