Is there a tutorial? I searched a lot but I couldn't find one. But running the optimizer gives the message For multiprocessing support in Backtest.optimize() set multiprocessing start method to 'fork'.
I am a Mac user.
Thank you!

Thanks!
For anyone wondering, simply include this in your code:
import multiprocessing as mp mp.set_start_method('fork')
This only works on Unix systems.

You should run mp.set_start_method('fork') only once when importing. Don't run it again.

import multiprocessing as mp try: # mp.set_start_method("spawn", force=True) # print("spawned") mp.set_start_method("fork", force=True) print("forked") except RuntimeError: pass
