Know what you are evaluating.
How does the strategy enter and exit positions?
Review the strategy documentation, supported markets and operating rules. Broker compatibility and delivery requirements need to be confirmed for the selected system.
What are the historical losing periods?
Review the test dates, costs, drawdowns and losing periods. Historical simulations should be identified separately from actual account results.
How do fees, fills and reinvestment affect the results?
Review licensing, data, execution and monitoring costs together. Income, growth and software availability remain subject to the actual offering and its documentation.
