This is a really interesting question, and of massive practical importance if you are managing systematic strategies. To generalize a bit -- someone tells you they have a strategy with a Sharpe of S. What questions should you be asking about the strategy to verify that it's real?https://twitter.com/o_wutang/status/1359686542466445312 …

Bear in mind that is full of assumptions that are not true! Backtests with different parameter combinations are not independent, backtest Sharpes are not drawn from a normal distribution, strategy performance is not stationary in time etc.

Thanks! I understand the caveats, I expected this had to be under the assumption of gaussian and uncorrelated returns and sounds like that's the case
