AV arrays during Optimization

V# variables are great tools and absolutely indispensable for Trade Systems and Backtesting and Optimizations. But to have access to historical values of V# variables I need to create User Variable Arrays (AV arrays). Then I can use those historical values in my coding of the trade system (AV.1 or AV.2 or REF(AV,func)). This has proved very useful.

Idea: Formulating A Strategy

This video discusses the "brainstorming" phase of developing a trading system and is the first in a series of videos on Investor/RT's back-testing and trading system capability, as well as optimization.

Optimization of Trading Systems Realization

The Realization feature in Investor/RT refers to the process of walk-forward out-of-sample testing (or walk-forward optimization). In essence, Investor/RT optimizes (or backtests) over a given period, then tests using the optimized variables (or best performing symbols, or both) over a subsequent period immediately following the optimization period. In this way, we are seeing historically what we could have achieved in reality by trading our optimized results or best performing symbols.
