If it's a curve fitting problem, mightn't it be better to use lsqcurvefit.

This usually occurs because you have quantizing operations like ROUND, FLOOR, CEIL, etc... in your objective function. They make the function locally flat in places, making the initial point trivially a point of zero gradient.
