I think backtesting is a great way to overlook the actual logistics of trading. --you know--like what it costs.Because he's not really trading. He keeps changing his algorithm, then running backtests on "realtime" data and calls it live.

No shit, that's why it's called a backtest...Because he's not really trading. He keeps changing his algorithm, then running backtests on "realtime" data and calls it live.
You can be fairly confident that extrapolating this results for near term future you will get satisfactory results. Law of large numbers does its jobYeah I'd say if you have something that works for two years and you have a few hundred trades, you can be fairly confident that it worked for the last two years ;-)
I'm trading Forex, I know the cost and how to manage risk. See, most of you have no clue what you're even speaking on. If you don't know how FX works, don't comment..I think backtesting is a great way to overlook the actual logistics of trading. --you know--like what it costs.

Okay dumb ass.. what I meant by real-time was me not using a demo account for testing. How stupid are you people that you can't figure that out. Real-time data that's compared to my real-time account at Forex.com. Why is it that I have to explain something so simple to people that are suppose to be able to figure things out.If my backtests were "real-time", I'd be typing this from my giant yacht right now.
