How Strong Should Your Signal Be?
By Dave Mabe
In this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we discuss a question submitted by long-time list member, Matt H., about signal strength.
How strong should your signal be when creating a trading strategy?
It depends...
Topics include:
Stronger signals make strategy development easier
A weaker signal can be viable, but in this case the filters do more of the work
The more filters contribute towards the edge, the more curve-fitting risk
My favorite strategies are those where the signal is "hiding in plain sight"
And much more...
No matter where you are in your strategy creation process, you'll get something out of this episode.
