What makes the most sense for optimizations?

[[Deleted]]

Does it make more sense to run an optimization for 2-3 years and use those settings and hope that it captures 99% of all scenarios? or Run a 1-2 month optimization every month? and use those settings for a month...and then run the optimization again?

Thanks,

Hi Ron

It all depends on the strategy (especially it's timeframe). I suggest you try optimising for a 2 year period starting, say, 3 years ago and see how those parameters perform in the year just passed. Then do the same for, say, 3 months starting 6 months ago and test those parameters on the last 3 months.

I've tried optimising strategies for various timeframes and found little consistency. I think it is more important to be able to identify when the strategy isn't performing as expected so you can stop it until conditions change to suit it again.
