Does QuantShare support walk forward testing? I searched the forum and came up with 0 hits. If not, is this something you plan to implement? Optimization
without the ability to do walk forward testing can be dangerous...

I agree, this ability is a "must" for proper and robust backtesting.

I too agree, we must have this facility, looking forward to see the new version with walk forward testing facility.

Glad to hear this is being implemented. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
Any idea of when the version with this feature will be released?

Could be in the next release (about 2/3 weeks) or the one after (about 1 month and half).

May I again suggest that this is a very important feature!

If anyone is interested, the following link is to an article that I wrote for the January 2009 edition of "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities" magazine where I used the technique of walk forward testing as a way of comparing systems, and how systems will act in the future.

If you would like any volunteers for testing this feature, please let me know.

(please excuse the ads in the following pdf file. my apologies, it comes with the download.)

Hi Jack,

Walk forward testing is already implemented. You can use it in the "Simulator Manager" by clicking on "Optimize -> Walk Forward Testing".

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
