Backtesting (30 min)

A backtest allows us to see how a trading strategy might have performed in the past when applied to a specific set of securities. Historical results produced by a backtest are not a guarantee of how the strategy will perform in the future, but they can still provide valuable insights into the strategy’s strengths and weaknesses. We will discuss how backtesting works in AmiBroker in this session.

A backtest works. The date range is used for the test. A watchlist is specified. There are viewing results. All trades vs portfolio tests Curve fitting. The majority of people make mistakes when backtesting. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it There is a walk-through of the backtest template. Scan or Explore can be used to investigate. Running a backtest on a strategy.

You will have the chance to run a backtest on the strategy described in the Guidebook provided with the course materials. The strategy rules can be implemented by those who wish, but a fully functional version of the game will be provided as well. This version can be used to verify your own results, or as a template to make modifications to the strategy.

Common Mistakes (20 min)
