We discuss:

• Curve fitting is a continuum, not a binary yes/no condition
• Every strategy has a little bit of curve fitting
• Let's say you wanted to maximize curve fitting. What would you do?
• Easy ways to avoid curve fitting

Michael and I discuss how to think about improving your column library over time.

We discuss:

• How your column library is like a shared software library: build once, reuse everywhere
• Continuous variables are better than binary variables (e.g. Above/below a moving average)
• The MACDV case study - MACD normalized by ATR
• How intra-trade columns allow testing multiple concepts with a single backtest

And much more...

Topics discussed:

• Healthy attitude towards trading and risk
• Making great trades is the goal - ironically, the money is almost secondary
• Day trading is key (don't believe me? Just do the math)
• Automation is a massive trading edge
