Build robust, production-grade backtesting systems that avoid common pitfalls and produce reliable strategy performance estimates.

Backtesting Frameworks Build robust, production grade backtesting systems that avoid common pitfalls and produce reliable strategy performance estimates. Use this skill when Developing trading strategy backtests Building backtesting infrastructure Validating strategy performance and robustness Avoiding common backtesting biases Implementing walk forward analysis Do not use this skill when You need live trading execution or investment advice Historical data quality is unknown or incomplete The task is only a quick performance summary Instructions Define hypothesis, universe, timeframe, and evaluation criteria. Build point in time data pipelines and realistic cost models. Implement event driven simulation and execution logic. Use train/validation/test splits and walk forward testing. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation playbook.md . Safety Do not present backtests as guarantees of future performance. Avoid providing financial or investment advice. Resources resources/implementation playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples. Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
