Matt Radtke from “Quantforhire” recently wrote an article on how to “Beat the Market with a Simple SuperTrend Strategy” & with his kind permission Matt has allowed me to reference his work & hyperlink to his webinar presentation where he describes the process of creating and validating a simple trading strategy using the SuperTrend indicator.


Respectable results

The performance results of his strategy are quite respectable but the real purpose of his webinar was to introduce traders to the tools and methodologies that can be used to develop effective strategies of their own.


Well worth a watch

I have downloaded & watched Matt’s webinar a few times. The slides for the webinar can also be downloaded separately. Matt, in my opinion is the real deal & has done a great job coding the SuperTrend Indicator & presenting his webinar on the subject & for a better understanding of how his simple indicator can be applied to all time frames & all markets with an explanation on the correct application of the indicator for trading.

Robustness of a strategy

At the 39:50 minute mark - Matt explains how to test a strategy robustness using "Parameter Sensitivity" & then goes on to explain the procedure to refine a strategy using the "In Sample" (IS) & "Out Of Sample" (OOS) testing to avoid curve fitting was priceless. I have posted many times that backtesting alone means Jack. The only true test of a strategy is using the results from the “In Sample” (IS) & “Out Of Sample” (OOS) testing that is explained succinctly in the webinar presentation.
