hi hotice, thanks for your compliments.

yes, what you mentioned is correct. manual backtesting involve going back into historical charts and apply your trading system. of course, you will need to do the necessary records and keep track of things like number of winning trades/losing trades, profit/loss etc.

are you trading live already?

When I setup an algo fund back in Tokyo a few years back the traders backtested to ensure that they could,

A– Test the systerm to ensure that it would be successful over long and short term market conditions.

B– Predict what returns/losses they would make each month in various market conditions

C– New hedge funds have to do this to show predicted returns to clients…otherwise how to predict returns?

Hotice– if you are trading manually then it’s a matter of how you trade, this topic is regarding EA trading e.g. signals advising you on how to trade.

I’ve never used that when personally trading…seems to be very popular these days though.
