There are probably as many techniques for testing and optimizing systems as there are traders.\ I would be interested in the techniques of others with a view to improving my own technique. In particular I would like to know what you think about using continuous contracts for system testing. What type of continuous contract do you use and why? Basically my technique is to optimize a small set of variables (I prefer no more than three) first against the continuous contract, and then against a year or two of the most recent specific contracts. Then I look for sets of optimization variables which seem to repeat the most often as winners. Using these selected optimizing variables, I can then examine the system for possible fine tuning in other ways. How do you do it? What do I do that you think is foolish? What do you do that you think is brilliant? -- Best Barry mailto:bspreen@xxxxxxxx
