I know this is a year old, but how do you NOT over-fit when creating a new Trading Strategy, the way Rob describes, by doing research? Is it expected that a person develops their own pattern from scratch for them to be profitable? Does his book go into more detail about the methodology of creating a strategy that isn't over-fit in this manner?

I think the best way it to use relatively simple rules and test it on different markets and time frames so you do end up over fitting....We have talked about this on a few episodes...perhaps you can find it by going back to listen...check out the Minute Markets in the Show notes...

One simple way to start out on the right foot is to use a portfolio based approach to testing. It's more difficult to curve fit a system against the S&P 500 or S&P 1500 for example. A good program like AmiBroker that's built for portfolio backtesting is a must. Also, keep your rules to less than 10 ideally and do robustness (sensitivity tests) on your parameters. For example, when you optimize some of your parameters they should work between a range of values and not be random. Also, test your system rules against completely different markets altogether. Just using a portfolio of stocks to test against will help a ton. Hope that helps!

1) use few rules and few parameters 2) backtest on at least 100 trades 3 ) out-of-sample test 4) forward test live with paper money

After decades of writing code for testing and trading systematically, some of which was incredibly good, I actually don't believe in it. Good trading is an art and a product of broad experience, in other words it is a human endeavor, not a "computerized" one. Systematic trading is no match for really good broadly informed discretionary trading.

I agree with you. I have been trading for 25 years. Those who can’t teach. Those who can do. 🙂

Is it chapGPT giving answers or is it "systematic tone" answers? 😂

So what is the trading method ? What is your trading system ?🤨

Anyone with an actual trading system will not give it away. You have to put in the work and make your own. If they give away or sell it, you should already know it’s bad.
