| Extending
the capabilities of
TradeSim Professional, the Enterprise Edition of TradeSim is
the most advanced system tester available. It combines true portfolio
system testing with advanced statistical analysis as well as providing
even more detailed analysis capabilities than the Professional Edition.
With all of this capability 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. |
