What precisely is being increased by 5? There are many configuration settings for the SMAC optimizer.

The SMAC optimizer simply does not follow your recommended step increments, it tries values all across the range. That's just how it's designed.

In this case, with one integer parameter, it makes not much sense to use any optimizer different form "Exhaustive".

The more advanced optimizers are built for larger parameter spaces, say three or more parameters which may have floating point values.

In such a scenario the "Exhaustive" optimizer will either take a vary long time or needs big step-sizes to finish within practical time.

Here the "SMAC" and "Shrinking Window" optimizers shine. They find good parameter combinations with a low number of backtests. The SMAC optimizer also ignores the "Step" value and thus finds much more precise solutions.

@DrKoch

it works fine.
It was probably because I only took one parameter. Now I've done it with three parameters.
