Short video where Adrian Reid describes his approach to idea generation for trading systems: capture every idea immediately without worrying about testing availability, then prioritize and test ideas later when time permits. Emphasizes decoupling idea capture from testing and not limiting ideation by near-term resources.
Don't limit your idea generation by how quickly you can test those ideas. It's great to decouple them because some ideas are going to be better than others. Sometimes you're going to be really interested in one idea and not so interested in another. So my approach is, whenever I have an idea, I just dump it down. I don't worry about whether I've got time to test in the next six months. I just write the idea down so it's captured. And then when I do have time to test, I go look through my list of ideas and I try and prioritize them.
