[EquisMetaStock Group] System Tester, Number of Bars



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links



I usually do MS EOD System Testing with 500 bars (just under 2 
years). I notice that the manual says I should use at least 1000 bars 
(preferably 2000) in order for the results/data to be statistically 
significant.

My question: Is it really better to use 2000 bars instead of 500 or 
250 bars? The stock had a completely different "personality" 2000 
bars ago, and the market itself may have been very different from 
what it is today. Don't I want to focus on trading systems which have 
been the most successful it the last few months?

TIA
