[EquisMetaStock Group] MS8 - never-ending optimizations

["Chuck Rademacher" <chuck_rademacher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Have 
any of you seen the situation where MS8 will keep optimizing after it is 
supposed to be finished?   It might tell you that there will be 1200 
tests, but it keeps going after it has completed the 1200 
tests.

My own 
diagnosis is that it has trouble with precision if you are using decimals in 
your OPT values.

For 
instance, I am doing an optimization using a range of 0.01 to 0.05 increment by 
0.01.   My feeling is that, due to inprecision in the way MS stores 
these values, it never gets exactly 0.05 and keeps going.

I 
think that I have fixed the problem by using a range of 1 to 5 for OPT1 and then 
dividing by 100 in my actual buy/sell syntax.

Has 
anyone else seen this problem?   How have you managed to get around 
the problem?
