Subject: Your backtest is lying to you

Not because the maths is wrong

Your backtest might be lying to you.


Not because the maths is wrong.


Because you might be asking the wrong question.


If you test a horse racing idea only by result, you get one answer.


Did it win?


Useful.


But not enough if you are trading.


Because trading is not always about the final result.


It might be about whether the price shortened.


Or drifted.


Or hit a certain point in-running.


Or moved enough before the off.


So a strategy can look dead if you test the wrong endpoint.


And a bad idea can look better than it is.


Wrong data makes good ideas look bad.


And bad ideas look good.


LightSpeed is built around proper Betfair data.


So you can test horse racing strategies at different points of the market.


Not just who won.


What happened to the price.


Because if your edge lives in the movement, you need to test the movement.
