Trading Tip: Master the Art of Parameter Stability
When optimizing your trading systems, focus on parameter stability rather than chasing the highest returns. Start by selecting a range of parameter values for your strategy and backtest each one. Look for parameter sets that deliver consistent performance across a range of market conditions. Chosen parameter values should also be stable, which means if you vary the parameter up or down by a reasonable amount (say +/- 20%), the performance of the system does not change much.
Once you’ve identified stable parameters, implement them in your live trading. Regularly monitor system performance and stability, but avoid frequent changes based solely on short-term performance. By prioritizing stability, you build a resilient trading system capable of weathering market volatility, ultimately leading to more consistent profits over time.
“A good trading system is built on the foundation of resilience, not on the pursuit of perfection.”
