Optimization

What Does Optimization Mean?

In the context of technical analysis, the process of adjusting one's trading system in an attempt to make it more effective. These adjustments include changing the number of periods used in moving averages, changing the number of indicators used, and simply taking away what does not work.

Investopedia explains Optimization

As an example, if an investor has a simple trading system that is composed of a crossover of the closing price and a moving average, by changing the periods of the moving average, the trader will get different profits, risk, capital drawdowns, and so on. Thus, optimization helps investors select the optimal parameters to trade.
