Just alter your entry parameters slightly and see what happens to the equity curve.  If it falls apart, it's not robust.


I believe OOS testing is vital if you're using any indicators as entry signals, particularly if they have been optimized.  But I doubt you're doing that.  If you're using more 'organic' entry signals, and your equity curve is very even and smooth, I agree OOS is not necessary.


You do realise that you need not wait another 6 months?  Just use the data you already have.  OOS is an optimization process, so you can just ask your software to test 6 months, then OOS test 6 months on whatever data you already have.
