And when i check/uncheck this option there is no difference.
strat 1: 5,0,9
strat 2: 0,0,10
without empty periods it will calculate only correlation between months with trades (5,0) and (9,10)
and with empty periods it will calculate all months (5,0) (0,0) (9,10)
and thus the correlation must be different
without empty periods the value of correl will be always very low and i am talking about monthly (strongest) correlation - weekly, daily - doesnt make sense
so for low number of trades you need to compute the correl with empty periods
Status changed from In progress to Fixed
It is explained well here https://strategyquant.com/forum/topic/3772-help-file-for-quant-analyzer/
