In this webinar, Kevin is going to focus on these bullet points:
1. Why slippage can be a killer
2. Tricking your software (rookie mistakes)
3. Why a better backtest isn't better
4. The short test illusion
5. Rules, and more Rules
Those five rules amount to "5 ways to incorrectly build a system", and are common mistakes an inexperienced algo trader can easily make.
