HI Bill,
Very good post. For the walk forward you do indeed need a warmup period. Since the walk forward is limited to the forward test, the back test can serve as the warmup period. 1 year (~250 bars) is probably sufficient, but 500 bars is what we used in early testing just to play it safe.
Hope that helps,
Jeff Drake
