●Developing trading strategy backtests

●Building backtesting infrastructure

●Validating strategy performance and robustness

●Avoiding common backtesting biases

●Implementing walk-forward analysis

●You need live trading execution or investment advice

●Historical data quality is unknown or incomplete

●The task is only a quick performance summary

●Define hypothesis, universe, timeframe, and evaluation criteria.

●Build point-in-time data pipelines and realistic cost models.

●Implement event-driven simulation and execution logic.

●Use train/validation/test splits and walk-forward testing.

●If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

●Do not present backtests as guarantees of future performance.

●Avoid providing financial or investment advice.
