| 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.
TradeSim
Enterprise will run a 20,000 simulation Monte Carlo test
in 2 minutes on a T5500 Core 2 Duo. These are real portfolio backtests
using historical data and not synthesized data tests. Our nearest
competitor takes 23 hours to do this so that is why they avoid these
tests and force their portfolio systems to produce a fixed outcome

Our Byte Slice technology minimizes computer resourses and speeds up open trade plots by only loading one security file at a time. So it doesn't matter if you are simulating a 10 security portfolio or a 10,000 portfolio, your computer's resources are never taxed !! Our nearest competitors software has to load all data for all securities into memory before it can run a portfolio back test !! With 10 or 100 securities this might be OK but for a 10,000 security portfolio going back all of the way to 1950 this can easily inundate the most hardy computer setup !!
