What Is Walk-Forward Backtesting? Why Is One Out-of-Sample Test Still Not Enough to Prove a Strategy Is Reliable?
Passing a single out-of-sample test does not mean a trading strategy will remain effective in all market conditions. A particular market period may happen to suit the strategy, so we also need to use walk-forward backtesting to observe its performance across different time periods.
First, what is walk-forward backtesting?
Walk-forward backtesting follows chronological order: repeatedly use past data to develop or optimize a strategy, then test its performance on a subsequent period

Does history prove that BTC always rises in the year after midterm elections???
Some say: BTC always rises in the year after midterm elections.
The data says: That's right. After the three midterm elections in 2014, 2018, and 2022, BTC was higher a year later every time. The average gain was 54%, and the median was 45%.

But the same data hides a line of fine print: the median return over the first three months after the election was -31%.
The direction was right. The journey was enough to kill anyone using leverage.

Why is everyone looking at Congress as the ballots are being counted?
As of November 4, the vote count is underway in the United States. Early results suggest that control of Congress could shift in favor of the Democrats. This change could influence the direction of a wide range of areas—from cryptocurrency regulations to prediction markets—extending well beyond Washington.
In Virginia, Democratic Senator Mark Warner has secured reelection. Nationwide exit polls place President Trump’s approval rating at 38%—a figure even lower than the level seen in 2006, when the Democrats won both chambers
