What is the easiest or fastest way to back test a MLB system.
Either excel or a web site.
Any input would be great.

I do it manually. It's the only way I can make sure the results are accurate, and you never know, you might find other useful information along the way

Excel works the best for us...that way you can customize it 100%.

Have your system print "1" for a signal and "0" for no signal.

The next column will have a formula that prints a "1" only when your system signals a play and the next game is a win for that team...pretty basic, just time consuming.
