Backtesting Frameworks
Build robust, production-grade backtesting systems that avoid common pitfalls and produce reliable strategy performance estimates.
When to Use This Skill
- Developing trading strategy backtests
- Building backtesting infrastructure
- Validating strategy performance
- Avoiding common backtesting biases
- Implementing walk-forward analysis
- Comparing strategy alternatives
Core Concepts
1. Backtesting Biases
| Bias | Description | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Look-ahead | Using future information | Point-in-time data |
| Survivorship | Only testing on survivors | Use delisted securities |
| Overfitting | Curve-fitting to history | Out-of-sample testing |
| Selection | Cherry-picking strategies | Pre-registration |
| Transaction | Ignoring trading costs | Realistic cost models |
2. Proper Backtest Structure

Best Practices
Do's
- Use point-in-time data - Avoid look-ahead bias
- Include transaction costs - Realistic estimates
- Test out-of-sample - Always reserve data
- Use walk-forward - Not just train/test
- Monte Carlo analysis - Understand uncertainty
Don'ts
- Don't overfit - Limit parameters
- Don't ignore survivorship - Include delisted
- Don't use adjusted data carelessly - Understand adjustments
- Don't optimize on full history - Reserve test set
- Don't ignore capacity - Market impact matters
