About Course

Structured back-testing of your trading plan shows you how well it is likely to perform and whether it needs to be modified before you risk your hard-earned capital. Roman Bogomazov has been conducting and refining back-testing of his own and others’ trading ideas for decades and has taught these techniques as part of systems development.

During this course, we will review your trading plan(s), back-test them and discuss the results. From these sessions, you will be able not only to evaluate the profitability and expectancy of your current trading plan but also to add this fundamental capability to your arsenal to evaluate any new ideas going forward.

The course is organiz ed as follows

First, we will discuss your current trading plans, which will include participant presentations, followed by discussion and suggestions by Roman regarding potential improvements and adjustments to each plan presented. These sessions will also provide each student with opportunities to learn nuances and distinctions from others’ trading plans, as well. (3 sessions)

Second, we will discuss indispensable elements of back-testing, including how to set up an informative process, what to emphasize during back-testing, and what data should be collected and tabulated during the analysis of results. (1 session)

Third, we will break for six weeks to allow participants ample time to conduct back-testing of their plans and ideas.

Finally, we will reconvene to discuss our results and how they can be used to refine our trading plans towards increased profitability. (2 sessions)
