If I let the software run without any filters it will generate thousands of strategies in a matter of a couple hours. I can then go through manual retesting and filtering like we did under SQ3 to try and arrive at the result I want and maybe have 100 or 200 strategies left over. Both steps would take for example four or five hours
To the contrary, if I set many filters to achieve the same desired results as the first scenario, after four or five hours I may only have 10 strategies.
Why is this and can it be improved?
In addition, based on how this fitness ranking influences the logic, I am not sure that when generation results become so slow that the work is really efficient.
Are you talking about automatic filters? Or filters of main test? or filters on cross checks?
Can you attach here your build config with filters so I can test it with your settings?
