Risks and Assumptions for Back-tested trading strategies
5. The risks and assumptions listed here are not intended to be an exhaustive summary of all the risks
and assumptions involved.
The strategy might suffer from look-ahead bias which occurs due to the use of information or data in
a study or simulation that would not have been known or available during the period being analyzed.
This can lead to inaccurate results in the study or simulation.
Future price movements may not be exactly the same as the historical price movements and this
could lead to variation in performance.
Testing can sometimes lead to over-optimization. This is a condition where performance results are
tuned so high to the past they are no longer as accurate in the future.
The model assumes no slippages in trading. Slippage refers to the difference between the expected
price of a trade and the price at which the trade is actually executed.
6. Drawdowns in actual trading can be higher than the tested system and losses could be significant in
the event of leverage.
Unforeseen events can lead to variation in performance from the tested trading strategy.
The tested result has been computed with price feeds available from Bloomberg.
The testing environment has not considered transaction or any other costs.
Trading indicators used for the purpose of testing has been provided by Bloomberg.
The strategy might suffer from data mining fallacy, selection bias and backfill bias.
