Required data may either not exist at all or be prohibitively expensive based upon the prospective returns of the trading strategy. At GoldenNetworking.net's High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2010 DVD Video Package, Dr. Kumiega demonstrates the use of important measurements of reliability, including Statistical Process Control theory, inputs to be controlled, outputs to be measured and controlled, and comparisons to classical methods (such as Sharpe ratio), which are fundamental for high-frequency traders to refine their strategies before running live.
