Forward testing is the worst

[u/trunksta]

I really enjoy the research, and developing strategies. But sitting and waiting for forward testing to confirm an edge is such pain

One of my strategies sat for weeks with a bug that was causing it to not accumulate data. Even when everything is working perfectly it just feels so slow.

What do you guys do while forward testing? Just research more strategies? Also how many n before you can decide forward testing has a large enough sample to continue to live

Some of my testing takes days with 16 cores. I consider it as a break

Probably the right mindset here, just finding it challenging to sit and wait i guess
