And this is the key, I think, to this whole approach. You have to have the rigorous process. You don't want to just take the system, test it on the entire history of a new instrument. If it works, say, great, I'll trade it. I think you need to go through the rigorous process because the ideal parameters for this universe are probably going to be quite different to the ideal parameters for TQQQ. So we need to run optimization, we need to check the stability, and we need to see if there's any additional filtering required.
