How To Backtest Bootcamp
Evaluate
Back testing allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of your trading strategy / idea over time by using historical data and testing your strategy against it. Without this you are trading strategies without the confidence of statistical / historical proof of working.
Become Objective
Back testing makes you become more objective in your trading. When you rely solely on visual intuition or “gut feelings,” it’s easy to fall into the trap of confirmation bias or other cognitive biases.Backtesting removes emotion & impulse from the equation as you rely on data-driven edge instead to guide your trading decisions.
Optimize
Back testing lets you optimize and practically identify areas for improvement in your trading strategies / ideas. Without this, it can be very challenging to see the weaknesses of a strategy until your personal account equity faces it.
