[amibroker] Optimizing Selection Criteria vs Timing Signals



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Here is a (perhaps) semi philosophical question:

We are familiar with the various pitfalls and prohibitions in optimizing
and "curve-fitting" timing systems.

Do the same pitfalls and prohibitions exist for keeping a constant
timing signal (whatever it is) yet optimizing variables that alter
basket selection criteria?  Can you "curve fit" a set of selection
criteria?

It "feels" like the problems would be different (and perhaps minimized)
because of the dynamic changes that occur, ESPECIALLY if stop conditions
are used.  OTOH, I suppose it would not be different using the same
criteria on the same basket of stocks over the same time period  as this
would yield the same baskets of stocks each time.  What I mean by that
is that for a given combination of criteria, the same stocks would be
selected.

Hard to visualize.

Any comments on this aspect?
