WFO Suitability

A WFO Suitability rating is available at the top of the Strategy Optimization Report. This rating varies from "Very Low" (Dark red color) to "Very High" (Dark Green color) and assists the user at an early stage whether the strategy is suitable for Walk-Forward testing using the TradeStation Walk-Forward Optimizer. For more information, see About the TradeStation Walk-Forward Optimizer.

If a strategy generated too few trades or its average robustness index within the SOR is too low, then the strategy may not be suitable for walk-forward optimization.

The WFO Suitability feature is only available if Walk-Forward Analysis is selected as Type from the Format Analysis Techniques & Strategies - Strategies dialog.
