Writing codes and testing them is a very good educational tool
I agree, a good point well made (as usual) but I do think that newbie (or not so newbie coders can get sucked in by the optimiser and it can take a long long time coding, backtesting, demo running to understand the clear signs of curve fitting. Maybe the Topic Aloysius proposed might shorten the learning curve.
I’ll put my hand up and say the Optimiser sucked me in for long enough … and I understood about curve fitting and the signs … hell it still sucks me in especially after many hours coding! I think because I want to see results / some £££s for my time and so I launch a System (sometimes even in Live) and then wish I never had! 🙂
Hey we should start new Threads on these interesting Topics under Trading Discussions?? It would mean we don’t hijack Threads on the coding Support Forum? Apologies readers!
