Place the indicator on the quotes chart.

Open the quote chart of any asset from the Market Watch of your platform. Reduce the quote chart to the minimum Zoom and drag the indicator to it. We recommend using the indicator on timeframes M15 and higher.

Of course, Octopus Stock trading system is not a magic Grail. Therefore, the statistics of the profitability of this indicator for different assets may be different. However, in any case, the self-optimization algorithm in the indicator will find the best parameters for trading. If you have performed self-optimization of the indicator and received bad statistics, then this trading asset may not be suitable for trading on the Octopus strategy at all.

Self-optimization of the Octopus Trading System indicator

After you have placed Octopus Trading System on the quotes chart, open the manual settings of the indicator and upload the set-file to optimize the indicator.
For example, if you are setting up a GBPCAD currency pair on the H1 timeframe, you need to select a set file to set up currency pairs with the corresponding timeframe.

Enable the self-optimization algorithm to TRUE. Click OK.

The platform will freeze for a few seconds. At this time, the indicator will perform complex mathematical calculations and search for the best parameters for trading. After the optimization is over, the indicator will show statistics of the strategy that it has chosen for trading on the history of the quotes chart. You will see the results in a separate window. You can get approximately the same results if you run the indicator signals.
