I just did 26 hour back testing no sleep, I feel tired and weirded out

I am tired, or I was many hours ago, but must test ideas, one after another they are not stopping, I feel weird. Like am in the Metastock zone but not the good kind


PS: of 8 tested ideas. 1 shows promise

sssooooooo tired

good night

 

26 hours of back testing ? Gosh, I hope your back is ok.

 

26 hours?
I suggest you upgrade your '386-era computer.

Upgrade to Windows 3.1 while you're at it.

 

You mean to tell me you actually spent time researching and back-testing?

Congratulations, that already puts you at the top 1% of all traders

 

Me too ... not 26 hours but today's backtesting day for me on a few ideas just for goofs and grins. I still trade manually, but want to see if what I'm doing have any merit.

Not sure if I'd ever do a total automated strategy, though .. just not 100% comfy with them.

 

MultiCharts is said to have the fastest backtesting and optimization engine.
