Jack Schwager needs no introduction.
He’s a well known expert in the industry, working for some of wall streets leading firms and is also one of the founders of FundSeeder.
Plus, he’s the author of the best-selling series of ‘Market Wizards’ books, which I’m sure most traders on this earth have read!
In this chat with Jack we discuss Optimization Myths, referencing some interesting results of a study that analyses the effectiveness of optimization…
The results may not be what you expect…
And could have a huge impact on the way we test and trade strategies.
There are plenty of other nuggets of info too, including:
- Optimization myths and the relationship between the best performing past and future parameter sets,
- Why you should rely less on optimization and more on developing and testing systems that eliminate hindsight,
- Why optimization adds very little to the power of a trading strategy and where to focus instead,
- How to properly assess trading results to determine if it’s your strategy or the market that’s actually any good
