Opt My Strategy Example Dashboard 2
Optimizations not appearing in the dashboard? Here's why
Usually, closing and then restarting MT5 before starting an optimization solves the issue (this is why the TLAM EA Framework has a setting to auto-close MT5 at the end of an optimization - it is strongly recommended that you use it).
Another reason preventing optimizations from being written to the dashboard is when too many charts are open in MT5. This means a new chart can't be opened to run the OnTesterDeinit() code. When this is the case MT5 sometimes writes an error out to the Journal indicating that a chart could not be opened. Close as many excess charts as possible and restart MT5 before retrying.

To enhance clarity in the two optimization charts, this option applies Moore Neighborhood averaging - a straightforward yet effective smoothing technique. This method considers all adjacent values within a ±1 range of the central point, including diagonals.
- In two dimensions (e.g. surface charts comparing two parameters), each central value is averaged with its 8 surrounding neighbors, forming a 3×3 grid of 9 values.
- Edge points are averaged over 6 neighbors, while corner points use 4.
This approach helps suppress short-term noise - such as abrupt spikes or dips caused by transient events like economic news - providing an enhanced level of clarity. Since such events will not affect a trading strategy in the same way again in the future, their influence introduces misleading information in the charts, and therefore hinders effective decision-making.
By smoothing out these anomalies, the charts reveal the actionable data that really matters, allowing traders to focus on the patterns that are more likely to repeat in the future - assuming market dynamics persist - rather than being distracted by random fluctuations and noise.
