No, there is nothing wrong with that.  I imagine many trading systems
would benefit from periodic re-optimization, because markets change
their characteristics as time goes on.

I have noticed this with Swinger2-EOD, for example.  Post 9/11, it works
consistently a lot better with different parameters.

This brings to mind what I consider a vital question regarding
re-optimization. Does anyone have any hard cold statistics as to the
workability of "walk forward" (or re-optimization) of systems? Or do you
know where I can find the information? I've seen and remember debates but
don't remember any black and white comparisons or any actual trades in any
of the discussions.
