I don't understand your baseline. I feel like you're talking past me a little. The first thing you need to do is generate all the positions your system would have taken over as many years as possible, and figure out at what times you make and lose money. Otherwise you don't have a backtest. |

Right now I have residual data from the AWS machine learning data that tells me weather there is any structure to the times it does guess wrong. And a value below baseline is a better than 50/50 guess according to what I have learned about how AWS does its ML. Knowing that I use this personally as a supporting indicator to my trade decisions. Since its so new and I really don't want people to think I'm scamming or something. I'm just releasing my results free for now, not trying to be a douche ;)
AWS defines the baseline as follows
Baseline RMSE Amazon ML provides a baseline metric for regression models. It is the RMSE for a hypothetical regression model that would always predict the mean of the target as the answer. For example, if you were predicting the age of a house buyer and the mean age for the observations in your training data was 35, the baseline model would always predict the answer as 35. You would compare your ML model against this baseline to validate if your ML model is better than a ML model that predicts this constant answer.
