AI Just Replaced My Entire Backtest Process
In this video segment Adrian Reid explains how he has integrated the Claude large language model with the RealTest command‑line interface to fully automate the backtesting workflow. Claude issues RealTest commands to run optimizations, import data, execute backtests, and retrieve results, then performs analysis within the LLM environment. Reid contrasts this approach with Python‑based LLM backtesting, which he distrusts due to opacity, and highlights that his method leverages his deep knowledge of RealTest. By conducting the development as a continuous conversation with Claude, he follows the steps outlined in the "Expert's Guide to Backtesting," automatically documenting each decision. This results in faster system development, reproducible documentation, and a more transparent, efficient trading‑system creation process.
