System Parameters Randomization

I read this topic.

Can we implement this into SQX next version?
Thx.

There is an interview with Dave Walton, creator of SPP (System Parameters Permutation) where he talks about a better way of approaching this .

The idea is to take the SPP and put a Monte Carlo function on top of it. Monte Carlo selection engine overlaid on top of SPP.

Here is the paper by Dave Walton:

“In order to address all of these, I’d like to introduce a close cousin of SPP which I named System Parameter Randomization (SPR). The fundamental mechanism behind both SPP and SPR is the same, yet the implementation is very different. SPR can be thought of as a random sample of a continuous SPP distribution. The process is explained in the steps below:

1. Parameter scan ranges for the system concept are determined by the system developer.
2. A Monte Carlo process is used to pick individual parameter values within in the scan ranges.
3. A fixed number of iterations is performed using a realistic portfolio-based historical simulation over the selected time period.
4. The simulated results for each system variant are combined to create a sampling distribution for each performance metric of interest (e.g. CAR, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, etc.). Each point on a distribution is the result of a historical simulation run from a single system variant.”
