I completely agree that actual results are far better than any
theoretical backtest, but 3 years isn't long enough to really know
anything, IMO. It would take at least a couple of full bull/bear
cycles (8+ years in the stock market, for example) to really know
whether a method is valid.
The only exception would be (also IMO) if a trader/investor understood
why the method worked. FWIW.
Luck,
Sebastian
