So the key question for you as a system developer is always: which parameter do you choose from your back-tests? Which settings are likely to continue to produce profits in the future in real trading? The answer to this question is different for each trading system but one rule holds true for all: the neighbourhood of your chosen system parameters must be nearly as profitable as your chosen system parameter and the bigger this profitable parameter range is the better. 4) where we examine the hypothetical results of an imaginary system in order to select stable input parameters.
In other words during testing over the longest price series available we check if the system is adapted to catch the moves of a particular market, while during optimisation we see if there is room for improvement with a change of inputs. Then through periodic reoptimisation within a 6 to 12 month window we fine-tune the system, in terms of inputs, to the characteristics of that particular market and keep the system abreast of the market changes. For an intraday system all the testing, optimising and re-optimising periods will be shorter than for daily or weekly systems.
We do not need to trust the area of the best performing inputs as a sure way to victory. If enough darts are thrown at the board, a high-scoring grouping will occur or, put in another manner, if a monkey is put in front of a piano and enough time is allotted, it will eventually compose a sonata. This joke suggests that, at very least, the average of the results should be profitable if we want to trust the most performing inputs. If just 1 to 5% of the results are profitable this could have happened by accident: if the system’s variables are given wide enough input ranges eventually the system will make a fortune over the past data.
