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

BiasDescriptionMitigation
Look-aheadUsing future informationPoint-in-time data
SurvivorshipOnly testing on survivorsUse delisted securities
OverfittingCurve-fitting to historyOut-of-sample testing
SelectionCherry-picking strategiesPre-registration
TransactionIgnoring trading costsRealistic 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
