Hello joemiller,
To view the trades, select the first optimization result (below the combined results), then from the Display drop-down select Trades.
Attached is a screenshot of a simple walk forward optimization to illustrate.
In the screenshot, the date range selected is April 1st to April 28th.
The Optimization period used for the in sample is set to 5 days.
This means the first day used for the out sample will be after April 5th. This is highlighted in the screenshot as occurring on April 6th.
The Test period used for the out sample is set to 10 days.
The last date of the test period will be 10 days after April 5th so this will be on April 15th.
If you have set the Optimization period to 365 days and the start date is set to April 28th, then the first day the out period will begin processing on is April 28th 2014.
If you have the Optimization period set to 243 the out period would begin on December 27th, 2013.Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer Service
