optmize results list to full report for a given line (optimization run)

couldn't find anything on this, hence asking:

  1. you run an optimization and end up with a Results List
  2. every line is a backtest with a given set of parameters (available at the right-most/end of the line)
  3. nonetheless, you want to get a full backtest report on this parameters set (not just the one-liner the "Results List" provides.
  4. right-click would "show arrows" and seems fit for a single instrument (having the study applied to it), but NOT for a basket / list of tickers.

A natural "feature" would be right-click -> optimize, to get then the full report in the Report Explorer (or something similar) - yet, the only thing I can see is the manual process of picking up those parameter values and make them default values in the AFL Optimize settings ... not fast. You spend 2 minutes waiting for gzillion backtests to happen, then you spend anoter 2 minutes to add those values "manually" in the AFL, not optimal ... or am I missing a trick?
this would be a good 7.0 new feature I guess.

thanks

You can get individual reports for each backtest within optimization only if you enable such option (via setoption call). They are all then available via Report Explorer. Note however that full report generation is very costly process and in most cases you don't want to have your optimization slowed down 2x or more. It is way faster just to run extra single backtest just for whatever combination you are interested in.
There is also an option to put optimized values right into the file so you don't need to edit anything manually.
