Forward testing can be used in addition to backtesting. Using our system, we often update backtests for clients acting like a forward test.
Our scanners can implement backtest strategies by easily importing the parameters.
We try to make the backtesting simulation as close to reality as possible.
We do the following:
- Use bid-ask quotes from 14-minutes before the close when the markets are more accurate.
- Our SMV system creates a best skew of implied volatilities that produce accurate greeks to use in the backtesting (designed by ex market makers).
- 10s of millions of backtests have been made using our system over the past 10 years.
- We show every trade and allow download of results.
