I agree entirely. I don't believe 100 trades is anything like enough. If you had developed a system that trades every hour as opposed to every day would you believe that a system that has worked well over the last 4 days (96 trades) will now cope with all mkt conditions ? Surely not !

I would like to know my maximum drawdown after at least 3000 trades and preferably significantly more - if this is acceptable maybe then it would be worth considering for trading live.
Great point richp! It all depends on the way you trade. A method that trades multiple times per day will require more more backtesting than one that trades only once per day. Of course the more you backtest and forward test the more accurate your method SHOULD become.

Thanks richp,

so 100 trades are not enough for forward testing.
