Understand strategy optimization, what it can improve, and how to tune parameters without breaking realism or robustness.
Learn how genetic algorithms search large parameter spaces efficiently—and how to use them without overfitting your model.
Spot the warning signs of curve-fitting and data mining, and apply practical safeguards to keep results trustworthy.
A checklist of robust optimization methods: realistic costs, out-of-sample validation, constraints, and repeatable experiments.
Use Monte Carlo techniques to stress-test strategy performance and understand the range of possible outcomes.
Evaluate whether parameters remain effective across time and regimes—so you don’t rely on fragile “perfect” settings.
Optimize across multiple instruments and timeframes to reduce overfitting and improve generalization and resilience.
A clear guide to walk-forward optimization: rolling in-sample/out-of-sample windows, evaluation, and deployment-ready rules.
