How to Contribute

If you want to be a part of this, the greatest contribution you can make is as a researcher.  The hard work in trading is in the research, particularly backtesting.

Backtesting helps you learn the methodology.  It gives you confidence in the system (or lack of confidence, if the results are no good).  It's a great way to practice the strategy without losing money.

Backtesting manually is tedious, time-consuming, and laborious.  But it is invaluable.

So if you want to contribute, get set up and help with backtesting.
