Strategy Creation Workflow Submitted from MabeKit User

MabeKit user Aben created an excellent diagram for the entire workflow of creating a systematic trading strategy.

Steps highlighted include:

Getting the initial backtesting infrastructure ready
Optimizing the strategy using the Cruncher
Refining the strategy further (inspecting trades, further backtesting, more crunching)
Paper trading using the MK Trade Client
Transitioning to real capital and scaling up

Here's the diagram:

It's quite good.

Take a look and let me know what you think. Any missing steps?

(BTW, Aben tells me he created this using MindManager software - very cool.)

Thanks for sharing, Aben! With work like this, I'm confident we'll be sharing a success story here soon.
