It sound like you are thinking that it somehow is creating a 20-period CCI "strategy" for you. It is not - all it's doing is creating a COPY of the Default strategy, with a different name. There have to be more steps that you are not mentioning. The strat you describe would have 59 active systems in it. Not a very useful staring point IMHO. Then you jump to talking about "optimizing" and "indicators" - I presume you mean systems within the big default strategy? Since you are using incorrect terms for so many things, I have to guess that you have not yet read the Help and gone thru all the vid tutorials. Or, maybe you have, but have done so too fast. There are no "safe shortcuts", IMHO. And, please don't take this personally - I cannot count the number of times I've given this kind of counsel. Slow down and take things one at a time and in little steps, mastering a bit at a time. Don't mess with optimization AT ALL till you've got the basics down. I hope this helps.
