[amibroker] Re: Opinions needed on properly weighting indicators of a system

I tried your optimization idea, but how can I set my Buy, when my Buy 
was based on a specific value (>= 18), now that I weight each 
variable from 1 to 3 ??

opt1 = Optimize("Opt1", 1,1,3,1);
opt2 = Optimize("Opt2", 1,1,3,1);
opt3 = Optimize("Opt3", 1,1,3,1);
opt4 = Optimize("Opt4", 1,1,3,1);
opt5 = Optimize("Opt5", 1,1,3,1);

Buy = Binarys >= 18;
Sell = Binarys <= 9;

Binarys = ((BB_Phases_Binary*Opt1) + (EMABinary*Opt2) + 
(ADXBinary*Opt3) + (MACDBinary*Opt4) + (SARBinary*Opt5));

Thanks for the guidance.
