I think your programming skills are more than adequate for this task, liftoff. But visualization will be a bitch. I'm not even sure API currently would allow for a custom 2D visualization (for example a scatter plot with both axis user defined), let alone some nice 3D surface plots.

This is not to say that advsofteng's library that Zorro uses is not up to the task, it's actually very powerful. But probably some of it's API is not currently exposed to scripts.

I agree that exhaustive parameter search with simple 2D/3D visualization would be very helpful in the strategy research stage.
