Discover profitable trading strategies before committing real money
One of the most powerful features in ProTA, Trading Systems allow you to determine the historical profitability of your customized trading models.
A Trading System is a user-defined set of rules that specify when you should buy or sell a security. Every aspect of a Trading System is fully customizable: rules for triggering a trade entry or exit, stop levels, trade execution methods, and even the accounting methods used to track day-to-day equity balances.
System Testing 1 - 2 - 3
1. Define a Trading System: Entry and exit rules, stops, trade execution rules.
2. Set scope and accounting rules then run a System Test.
3. Review the results of the test.
Dozens of trade statistics, sortable tables, trade-by-trade listings, charts of trading activity and day-to-day profitability analyses. Extremely fast evaluation algorithms compute hundreds of statistics and data points for each test.
Visualize the results of your trading ideas with dozens of display options. In the following Chart Suite, four separate display areas are configured to display information about our “MA Crosses” model:
1
A Meter column is displaying the model’s trade status (long or flat) for the past 10 days.
2
The current position of the model.
3
Trades are highlighted in the chart with painted bars, shaded trading ranges, buy and sell arrows, and P&L boxes.
4
The cumulative equity of the model, based on your specified accounting rules.
