Scorpion, you are absolutely right. For me I would never believe in back tests at all. The system seller should provide live forward testing, using collective, fx auto or anything else.

Although Backtests could have been real, and the system seller was honest, however, the real test is running the system in a forward testing, for at least 6 months, so as to make sure that this system has not been curve fitted or tweaked to give the most profits in that previous period.
