The US economy slowed in April for the second time in as many months, "led by declines in production-related indicators, according to today's release of the , a weighted average of 85 economic data sets. But the deterioration has yet to make a conspicuous dent in the three-month moving average (CFNAI-MA3), which remained virtually unchanged at -0.04 last month vs. a revised -0.05 for March. The three-month average offers "a more consistent picture of national economic growth," the Chicago Fed advises. By that standard, the US economy is still expanding at a pace that's only slightly below its historical trend as of last month."

Chicago Fed: Slower Slow Growth In April… Again [Published I Stock Analyst - 1 hour ago]

...Such practice became popular because of the argument that "a trading system that performs well during back testing is a better choice over one that does not Yet, I believe that this argument has at least one hidden assumption and an empirical shortcoming. The assumption is that history repeats itself and the reaction of the participants to the same information flow is the same. The empirical shortcoming is that the trading system is not a market participant during back testing. One way of dealing with these fundamental issues is to establish criteria that minimize the variation between historical and actual trading results. It is important to understand that the variation between actual and back-testing results cannot be brought down to zero. But since there is no other way of analyzing the performance of a trading system in advance other than by back testing it on historical data, this appears to be a natural compromise.The empirical shortcoming of backtesting, something that is very serious and the industry that has been set around it avoids to discuss at all costs, is that when$ a system is backtested it is not a market participant and its positions do not cause reactions. As shown in$ Figure$ 1$ below, the model of a trading system during actual trading becomes a market participant. This shortcoming can get very serious as the timetime frame decreases and$ can shatter the hopes and dreams of those who think they can develop trading systems of any frequency (low or high) for intraday trading via backtesting.$ Figure 1. Trading models as markets participants. Fig 6-2 of book Profitability and Systematic Trading."
