Check out the webinar below to see how we put this idea to the test using nothing but Excel and free data. Download the Excel file used in the webinar here.
Many technically-minded traders make the common mistake of thinking that backtesting is research (I certainly did). But this is inefficient and prone to delivering all sorts of misleading conclusions.
As you can see in the webinar above, there’s so much more to trading research than backtesting.
If you’d like to learn to do this sort of analysis yourself, check out our upcoming course, Excel Edge Lab.
It’s a three-week intensive, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn a simple, practical approach to doing trading research using Excel through a series of eight case studies.
