The Strategy Tester in the MetaTrader 5 trading platform provides only two optimization options: complete search of parameters and genetic algorithm. This article proposes a new method for optimizing trading strategies — Simulated annealing. The method's algorithm, its implementation and integration into any Expert Advisor are considered here. Next, its performance is tested using the MovingAverage EA, and the results obtained by Simulated annealing method are compared with those of genetic algorithm.
