EdgeWare FastBreak Pro Version 5 - Manual (Page 51)

This trading strategy has very good performance in the OS period. The results are even
more impressive compared to the major market indexes during the time period. Again, it
is not an exact process to choose the best generation. We chose generation number 19
because it had a good combination of IS, OS and UPI values. We proceed by creating
DFT files for the ten best strategies in this generation using the Create Best Results DFT
Files icon. We provide the name ET.DFT and FastBreak Pro will create ten DFT files
(ET0.DFT … ET9.DFT).
FastBreak Pro will create ten new trading families (ET0.FAM … ET9.FAM) in the
FT/Userdef folder. Remember, we had the Optimize Family option activated.
We will only look at one of the top ten strategies in detail. We note from the Out-of-
Sample Results screen, on the previous page, that the maximum OS returns were
obtained from strategy number 1 of generation 19. We can load this strategy into
FastBreak Pro by selecting ET0.DFT (remember that the DFT file names are appended
starting with zero so the name range is 0 through 9).
Note: You will need to shut down FastBreak Pro and restart it for the new family
names to be available to FastBreak.
When we restart FastBreak Pro and load ET0.DFT, the Family screen in FastBreak will
look like the following:
