Is there any way to change the "Strategy Settings" defaults that are used by the Genetic Evolver, for either the "Backtest Data" section or the "Position Sizing" section?

It's currently defaulting to "Max Open Short: -1", so I'm unable to evolve Short strategies. This is strange, because if I manually click "New Strategy", it opens up with "Max Open Short: 1".

Ideally, I would also love to be able to change the "Filter Pre/Post Market", "Retain NSF Positions", and "Obtain data from selected DataSet only" checkboxes that are used by Genetic Evolver strategies.

Check your Evolver Preferences and see if you have it set to use a specific Position Size. The Max Open Positions (Short) is a component of Position Size, so you must have that set somewhere. In my Evolver for example I am letting the Evolver set the Position Size dynamically and I never see a Max Open value.
