Tips & Best Practices
Combine Filters Strategically
Use multiple filters together to narrow down results. For example, combine high Sharpe ratio with low max drawdown to find well-balanced strategies.
Check Correlation Before Combining
Before building a portfolio, use the Correlation Matrix to ensure strategies aren't too similar. Low correlation means better diversification.
Review OverGuard Scores
For Pro users, always check OverGuard scores to understand overfitting risk before making investment decisions based on backtest results.
