The Wrong Way to Backtest

If you spend a lot of time waiting for a backtest to complete, you’re doing it wrong.

Imagine you’re hunting deer.

You go into the woods.

But instead of a rifle, you bring a machine gun and fire it randomly in every direction hoping to hit a deer.

How effective do you think that strategy would be?

And yet that’s what I see most traders doing when they backtest.

A random, haphazard process that will never yield results.

Backtesting with an organized plan is far more effective.

If your backtests aren’t turning into real trading edge, I guarantee I can help.
