    [amibroker] Re: Automated BacktestingHi 
    dingo,You wrote below about Optimization:>I should point out 
    that according to most of the knowledgeable >sources that you should 
    only optimize once for a range of dates that will include bull and bear 
    periods and then do a series of backtests "out of sample" to find out if 
    your formula is "robust".  That's the hard part!>  
    > dI think Leo may be referring, in his Post,  to an 
    Optimization technique called "Walkforward Validation", which is what 
    some people recommend and prefer.  It's another option to handle 
    bull and bear years.  As you say, no matter what technique, it's 
    not easy :)Bill> > -----Original
