Eric, lots of statistical testing is necessary if you don't know WHY 
your method works.  If your buy and sell rules are based on an 
arbitrary mathematical formula (like most TA indicators), you really 
do need to do a lot of tests because it could just be a coincidence 
that the indicator gives you "winning" entry/exit signals.  But if you 
already understand why an event is occurring/is going to occur you 
don't need as many trades before you know if your method is valid.


Luck,

Sebastian
