Will trade backtesting for ideas

  1. I'll start with a brief introduction. I have been trading for almost a year now. I have tried various styles and instruments and have found that intraday trading US securities suites my personality best. I have a background in software engineering and currently use Amibroker to test my ideas.

    I'm starting to run short on ideas, and forming the opinion that mechanical systems don't offer a statistical edge. So if anyone would like me to test their idea for them feel free to ask. Currently I'm using the last 3 months of 5 minute bars as the data sample.
