Walk-Forward Testing

Testing the model on unseen future data helps verify real-world reliability, especially during calm periods like today's low VIX of 15.4.

How the model uses it: The model tests its bullish strategies on chronological data blocks to confirm they perform well before deployment.

⚠️ Common mistake: Optimizing parameters on the exact same data used for testing creates a false sense of security.

❓ Question to reflect on: Does the validation method simulate real-time trading conditions?

Previous concept recap (Rebalances): Times the strategy changed portfolio weights. More rebalances = more trades.
