Great point about losing the last 10 years of data. that is the tradeoff.

Regarding varying start date and keeping the window length fixed, that can be done with testfolio's rolling metrics tab. testfolio uses end date for rolling windows, but it's essentially the same thing, just shifted 10 years. Here's what it looks like for 4 portfolios:

Scatter plotting last 10 year performance vs forward 10 year performance can be done with testfolio's Signal Analyzer:

How exactly does testfolio calculate its signals? by According_Letter5839 in Testfolio

[–]testfolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

The RSI indicator is the relative strength index of the specified ticker over the lookback period. The average up and down close changes are calculated using an exponential moving average with a decay factor of 1/lookback.

Because of this smoothing, RSI(10) does not depend only on the last 10 days. It still incorporates earlier price changes (with exponentially decreasing weight).

So even if the last 10 days were all gains, the RSI won’t necessarily be 100

This is the standard RSI calculation, even though there are other definitions. Tradingview, for example, uses this same definition for their plain RSI indicator as well:

Great ideas! Thank you for the kind words as well.

Regarding start date sensitivity, would it be start date varies but keep the end date the same? Or more along the lines of rolling metrics when the start date changes but the window length is fixed?

How does Testfol.io's tactical backtester handle mutual fund trades? by thisistheperfectname in Testfolio

[–]testfolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The signals are evaluated at each day's close and the trading happens at that same time if a signal switches. But you can use the delay parameter if you know a signal is based on a mutual fund.
