My view of the optimiser graph, is that it's ok for a rough view of good and bad results. For anything detailed though, a graphical representation is just too vague. Making it more complex would probably not help me.
My measure of a successful strategy is the profit/max drawdown ratio; all the rest, you can adjust with number of lots and leverage. To this extent, no graph could give me the detail I need, but what would really help me (i.e. save me from exporting to excel, add columns, etc for each backtest) would be the addition to the Optimiser's criteria of a "profit/max drawdown" ratio , would this be possible?
(by "mac drawdown" I mean the fifth column from the end of the optimiser's results, in between min and final gross capital)

I really do not know what is useful and what is not. I am on the search
I am just saying that for those who can "see" a third dimension in a flat representation,
this might mean something.
Looking at the graph, i feel something is misleading and the results list
does not provide for multicolumn sorting.
The graph as it is, is excellent for quick navigation to the best result item
inside the first two selected dimensions. This is not what i am looking for in a graph
but hidden patterns
Btw, i am thinking of a custom column in the results list that could be written from within the strategy with arbitrary user data. That i would consider useful.
