APPROACH / DELIVERY CONCEPT
How it could work.
Strong backtests are easy to produce; robust evidence is harder. Stale prices, look-ahead bias and underestimated costs can all make a weak idea look convincing.
This study outlines a repeatable process for generating hypotheses, comparing them on unseen periods and reviewing risk separately from strategy development.
WORKFLOW / REVIEW POINTS
01Ingest permitted historical price and market data
02Generate candidate hypotheses under a fixed protocol
03Backtest with transaction costs, slippage and walk-forward splits
04Run independent overfitting and risk review
05Prepare an investment-research report for human interpretation
