Techniques to Efficiently Operate EA

Hello everyone. In the practical edition so far, we have looked at how to evaluate EAs and how to derive results from backtests, etc. So far, you should have understood how to test and evaluate EAs.

However, many may wonder, “Based on these evaluations, how exactly should I operate the EA in practice?”

To conclude the practical edition, from now on we will explain “EA operation techniques.” Of course, there are many EA operation techniques and different compatibilities, so please consider this as one example from someone who has been involved with EAs for a reasonable period.
