My favorite tool that I’ve learned since being in EST is Amibroker. I also like brute force optimization because it reminds me of what I did for the index strategies. I basically built the environment in Excel and VBA, which did a rolling forward brute force optimization like you have those windows every week. That’s a weakness of Amibroker for the brute, for the walking forward. It also takes the peak performance, and my optimization process took the most stable area, so there’s a difference.
It’s one part of my complete guide to how to learn stock trading.
If you want to go beyond the mechanics and build complete, tested trading systems, that’s what I teach in the Trader Success System.
