Hi, I am eventually going to add this capability to the code in tropsgx.c -- this should not be excessively difficult to do. I do not know when I will get to...
I really liked the fitness function in C Trader Pro, which looked for the equity curve to be as close to a simple line as possible, maybe you can mix in more...

"On the one hand, the Sharpe and Sortino ratios are computed based on the sole knowledge of the two first moments of the distribution. The Sharpe ratio...
Nick, I would very much agree with you about rewarding for the relatively high number of trades. At some point I used a log(tradesN) - dont remember the...
Leon - I haven't tried anything yet. I agree with you though: I had thought a log function would be necessary, and was just wondering how best to go about it....
