well there are anti backtesters because backesting has been
generally abused and many or most people dont' use it right.
I've seen so many systems out there are simply a collection
of a bunch of indicators and the person runs a huge ramge backtest
on all the variables and while a backtest report might spit back
settings that would have been profitable in the past, if you looked
at the setups, it's really just a bunch of nonsense you would never
do in real life. I think backtest should be targeted to a
logical set of conditions and ranges that you are trying to verify,
that you see visually.
well there are anti backtesters
Per request my statistics on the current exhaustion condition that is building
