Not really, curve fitting has to do with how the training is going, for all we know the optimization process may be too curve-fitting, hopefully not. No, this doing it as often as possible is just keeping up with any possible changes added into the picture, don't matter weekly, daily, but it's not curve-fitting.

I believe most of us here know that.

Yep again!
So I'm just doin' as you were, checkin' it out "seein' if it's naughty or nice"! You did the out-of-sample method, that takes a bit of time, and I'm trying real-time, which is even much longer patience required, daily and monthly watchin' 'n doin' So your check was strike-one, be nice if this second "up to bat" I'm doin' isn't also a strike-out, but one never knows for sure, eh?

So jsp, you not a dummy re: auto trading 'n EAs, any EA you use and is your going-forward$$$ EA you're happy with and understand and have a grasp on?

Best,
jb
