new (current) symbols vs backtested symbols

emini_Holy_Grail · 2015-07-10T09:24:03-04:00

let me give an example say, i am backtesting RSI2 pullback method (a popular one) and it gave a good + PnL results in backtest just for example, during backtest, it gives symbols, MSFT,SBUK,ARNA,ACAD,ARIA during scan today, it gives symbols, ARUN,ABTL,BIOC,BLOX,CLNE it showed ++results for backtested symbols how can I trust the ++results RSI2 method on the backtested symbols now to trade these new symbols ARUN,ABTL,BIOC,BLOX,CLNE or we just test the method (RSI2) during backtest and not for those symbols ?
