Vamiban,
If you deem it absolutely necessary to run
300K of tests then I suggest you check out Amibroker – it is reputed to
be just about the fastest TA analyzer out there in the main stream. The Trading
System in AB will optimize very effectively. It is also a Portfolio System
Tester so the results are more robust for stock picking situations (IMHO). I
use MetaStock, AIQ, Omnitrader and Omega stuff so I think I can offer objective
advice. You can get a download for 30 days to see if it will do what you want. I
have no commercial interest to any software house etc etc.
I am not slating MetaStock just that there
are “horses for courses”.

if you need more combinations and in which directions to go. If you get a
result that is much better than any other group of parameters don't use it.
Look for a group of parameters/combinations that give similar results as they
will be in a range of sturdy variables.

Nicolas Darvas books. While his methods wont work nowadays you will see
how basically simple his methods were.
