Extending
the
capabilities of TradeSim,
the Enterprise Edition of TradeSim is the most advanced
system tester available. It combines portfolio system
testing with advanced statistical analysis. The
Enterprise Edition of TradeSim is unprecedented in its
ability to thoroughly and objectively analyse the true
potential of any trading system.
A single
trade simulation of a trading system on a portfolio of
securities will provide a lot of information regarding
the performance of your trading system. However it is
just a single snapshot of one of the many possible
outcomes of your trading system.
When
trading a system using a portfolio of securities the
outcome is not unique due to the number of different
permutations and combinations of securities that can be
traded. This non-unique outcome gives rise to the need
for proper statistical analysis in order to thoroughly
evaluate a trading system. The Enterprise Edition of
TradeSim incorporates proper statistical analysis
through exhaustive testing using a Monte Carlo analysis
approach aiming to evaluate every possible trading
'route' and then analyzing and correlating the resulting
data. This is done by repeatedly simulating a trading
system where each simulation uses a random selection of
trades, which satisfy the trading rules. Although it is
possible to manually run multiple trade simulations on
TradeSim and analyze the resulting data the Enterprise
edition of TradeSim automates the process for you and
presents the results in easy to read reports and
graphical formats.
The
resulting in-depth trade analysis is like a 'footprint'
or 'signature' of the trading system. It gives you a
multi dimensional view of your trading systems
performance. Rather than display a rats nest of equity
curves overlaid on top of each other it makes more sense
to do a proper statistical analysis and display the
results in terms of frequency distributions of net
profit, winning and losing trades as well as trade
expectation if it is applicable to the position size
model used.
