Machine Learning Myths

Intro

ML is powerful but often misapplied in trading due to small data, regime changes, and overfitting.

Practical checklist

  1. Start with simple models and robust features.
  2. Reserve large out-of-sample periods and test across regimes.

GOLD example

Predicting XAU/USD moves with ML needs careful feature engineering and conservative evaluation to avoid false confidence.
