We had some modules together. We started to test via the back testing method. Some of the models would work great for some time, just to loose the gain shortly after..

 

Also, the back testing method was not satisfying me. I realized that, twisted and turned indicators, would produce great results – in the back test window – but would fail mercy less in out of sample tests.

 

To solve the “good looking back tests” problem, we developed the so called Real Walk Forward Test (RWFT).

 

One could set back the program in time and let I run forward, day by day. The back tests then had to sustain all testable parameters in the RWFT.

 

From highs to downs we created own indicators, some great, some useless.

 

In 2003 we started to marketing just The Downloader module, with a surprising success.

 

Time went on through 2004 to 2005, with developing here and there.
