024 – Trading Think Tank 02 – Battle of the Back-Testers
In our second Trading Think Tank round table discussion we bring together two exceptional minds in the trading technology space to talk about building back-testing applications: in the blue corner representing Python - Jason Strimpel, an experienced quantitative risk manager, trader and technology leader, and in the red corner representing his own application (Real Test), Marsten Parker, a legendary systematic trader and bona fide Market Wizard. The discussion dives deep into the nuances of back-testing proficiently, highlighting the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms in your chosen engine and the diverse approaches to creating robust trading strategies with the powerful tools we have on hand in the modern era.
