Automated strategy tweaking

Morning team,

Long time listener, first time caller.

Is anyone aware of a backtesting tool (likely outside of ToS) that helps optimize specific indicator and / or strategy inputs alongside its timeframe? In other words, instead of endless manual tweaks of indicator / strategy variables and timeframes, is there something that helps automatically calculate what would work best to maximize win rate, minimize loss rate, dollar equivalents, etc?

Haven't yet asked ChatGPT, but thought I'd try here first :)
 
Solution
TradeStation, I believe, has an optimizer that back tests a strategy by running through different combinations of inputs, sort of like brute-force cracking a password, to determine which combination is best. I've never used it though.

I have been wondering the same thing. Definitely would be nice to run a strat through an algo and have it determine the best setup.
