Backtesting & Forward Testing
Manual and automated backtesting, then forward-test expectancy on demo.
- 1Manual backtesting on TradingViewTest your written strategy on historical charts, bar by bar, without hindsight — how to prepare, run, record, and analyse a manual backtest of 100+ trades.
- 2Intro to automated backtesting concepts (Python / Pine Script)How coded backtests work, a simple Pine Script strategy and Python example, and the biases that make automated results look far better than reality — look-ahead, overfitting, survivorship, and unrealistic costs.
- 3Forward-testing on demo; measuring win rate, R-multiple, expectancyRun a disciplined forward test on a demo account, measure it properly in R, compare it with your backtest, and use pre-set criteria to decide whether — and how — to go live.
