You may already have a stock trading idea, which seem promising to you. Of course, before investing money in any idea, you need to be confident in it. There are number of ways you can test your trading strategy (or system). You can do an “eyeball” test by browsing through a number of charts looking for a confirmation of your assumptions, this is time consuming and not reliable. You may use one of online back testing platform, but you’ll need to learn a programming language for that. You may hire a programmer, but it’s usually expensive.
With us, you will avoid all downsides and get a very detailed and comprehensive data reflecting historical performance of your stock trading strategy. Our pricing is very affordable, and average report delivery time is 3-5 business days. Moreover, we guarantee complete privacy of your trading ideas.
We perform historical testing according to high standards and best practices: there is no bias (survivorship, walk forward, or any other type), transaction fees will be taken into account, rules are fully customizable according to your strategy. See an example here
Monte Carlo Simulation
If you never used Monte Carlo simulation for your trading analysis, you probably should consider starting doing so. Monte-Carlo simulation is a very powerful statistical tool, which can help you to answer such questions us:
- What is the probability to earn X% with my trading strategy within a certain period of time.
- What kind of drawdown is possible
- What is the risk to ruin the account
- And the most important – does the reward worth the risk
Live Testing and Live Trading
Once you have a trading strategy (a.k.a. trading system) that you believe has some sort of edge to it, and you are satisfied with its historical and statistical performance, you may want to check how the strategy performs on real data. We will set up our system, so it will track the stock marked data according to your rules, and inform you once the market situation meets the criteria you had defined. You will receive instant and unbiased e-mail alerts. In the end of every month, we will generate a summary report for you.
Going live with your trading strategy is an exciting moment! Make sure you are prepared properly. Define your account size – don’t invest too much too soon; determine your position sizing; set your quit point in case things go bad. You will be pretty confident in your strategy once you complete all testing steps, but, remember, usually trading edges are not perpetual.
On our side, we’ll monitor the market for you and make sure you receive timely alerts. There is no difference between live testing and live trading alerts. You decide when you are ready to start trading your strategy.
