TradeSim
Program Features

• Unlike basket testers and single security back testers TradeSim is a true portfolio trading simulator which analyses the trades in the proper chronological order and sequencing thus mimicking the way that real trades would be executed.
   
• Ideal learning aid for beginning traders learning how to objectively trade or for advanced traders using it to thoroughly and objectively evaluate their own trading systems.
   
• Simple interface to MetaStock using an external function plug in which can be incorporated into your indicators or the MetaStock explorer using the MetaStock indicator language.
   
• Automatically size trades according to the position size model used and available capital thus mimicking realistic trading conditions.
   
• Different position sizing models allow quick comparison of trading performances for a given trading system which answers the "What if?" question.
   
• The ability to specify a complete set of trading parameters such as, the position size model, the initial capital, the trade transaction cost, the portfolio heat, the trade capital limit etc.
   
• The ability to model the effects of slippage through limit and market orders.
   
• Trade positions include long, short or both sides.
   
• Simultaneously test multiple trading systems with an unlimited number of trading entities.
   
• The ability to generate trade data with thousands of trading entities unlike the system testers built into most charting packages which can only generate a limited number of trades.
   
• User defined trading rules using the MetaStock indicator builder language.
   
• Random walking of stock selection with the same entry date allows different trading sequences whilst satisfying your trading rules.
   
• Multiple system analysis allows a mixture of different trading systems to be simulated at the same time.
  Fast processing and analysis of the resulting trade data. For example, simulate ten years of the S&P ASX 200 stocks in less than a minute on a 300MHz Windows 98 machine.
   
• Comprehensive and detailed trade system reports and professionally printed colour documents and charts for presentation and reporting purposes.
   
• Comprehensive trade database manager allows advanced stock selection and filtering to allow selective processing of stock groups. For example you could process two years of stock trades rather than the full interval, or deselect a certain stock group so that it won't appear in the trade simulations.
   
• Colour-coded trade log report lists in detail all of the trades in chronological ordering or you can sort the list by any other criteria.
   
• Comprehensive and detailed charting capability with advanced chart zooming and 3D display capabilities.
  Dynamic links between the TradeLog, Trade Database and Charts allows detailed analysis of each individual trade.
   
• Trade Inspector allows detailed examination of each trade whilst viewing the charts.
   
• Selective processing capability allows processing of certain securities and filtering of both long and short trades.
   
• Simple user interface using Microsoft Windows®; no clumsy DOS based application.
   
• Comprehensive user manual in Adobe™ PDF format which can be easily printed out if necessary and can be updated at any time in the future when new software releases become available.
