Subject : RE: Guidelines for Backtesting, Tuning and Evaluat

OK - that's enough for now!

I'm sorry that this is somewhat "technical" in nature - I realize that some of these concepts (&/or the solutions) will be foreign to newbie OT users ... or just plain difficult for anyone, who is not accustomed to think about this stuff.

My goal has been to present a "broad brush" set of ideas, to help people who are currently involved in system optimization and evaluation to obtain more reliable, effective results.

I'm also hoping that these ideas will help less-experienced users to gain an appreciation for the huge amount of work that goes on (hopefully) behind the scenes, when a really good Strategy is developed.

As I wrote those (fairly long) posts ... I was continually tempted to digress (even more) into other rabbit trails that have a bearing on the topic. MUCH MORE could be said about each of the three areas.

If you're scratching your head, and going "hmmm, I wonder ...?"
--- well, then, I've succeeded!
