Hey folks,
I've heard a lot about backtesting to quantify an edge and to gain confidence in that edge. It has become clear that I need to do this, but I am at a loss as to how this is done, or where to begin. So I am beginning here.
Do I have to understand programming code? (As though trading itself isn't a large enough mountain to climb)
Should I just go through historic data and do it manually?(more mountains)
I am clueless. Please help.
