    After decades of writing code for testing and trading systematically, some of which was incredibly good, I actually don't believe in it. Good trading is an art and a product of broad experience, in other words it is a human endeavor, not a "computerized" one. Systematic trading is no match for really good broadly informed discretionary trading.

    I know this is a year old, but how do you NOT over-fit when creating a new Trading Strategy, the way Rob describes, by doing research? Is it expected that a person develops their own pattern from scratch for them to be profitable? Does his book go into more detail about the methodology of creating a strategy that isn't over-fit in this manner?
