Thank everyone :>

If the data sample for evaluation needs 30/1000 trades to be sound
statistically, then does the out of the sample evaluation also need
30/1000 trades too?

Such as
Periods # Trades
[2002-2003] 30/1000         [Sample for evaluation]
[2004-2005] 30/1000 ???     [Out of Sample evaluation]

Thank you for any suggestion.
Eric :>
