RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] Evaluating a Trading System's Chance for Success

My understanding of the t-test is that it is used to determine if you have
enough sample points for your desired level of precision.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Evaluating a Trading System's Chance for
Success

 

How do I test the likelihood that a system will repeat itself in the 
future? Moreover, how can I identify when a successful system begins 
to fail and breakdown? To find the answer to these two questions, one 
must understand basic inferential statistics. I however have hit a 
brick wall in my analysis.

Does anyone have experience using t-tests to improve the likelihood 
that a system will be successful in the future?

I've moved beyond trying to optimize my system for total returns. I'm 
now trying to optimize my system so that it has a high chance for 
success.

I would appreciate any suggestions one might provide!

Eric
