TradeSim software can be
used with BullCharts for
back testing your trading strategies.

Before considering the purchase
of a TradeSim license,
please be aware of the
current TradeSim development situation
(see information at right).
 
How does TradeSim work?

The TradeSim software functions as a "plug-in". It is also in common use with MetaStock software. It is easy to download and install using the default set-up process.

Quick Overview
Once it is installed, BullCharts and TradeSim work like this:
  1. Prepare your trading strategy ideas (ideally you will have it written down in detail). For more ideas about trading strategies, see Brainy's Articles on Share Trading.
  2. In BullCharts, create a new TradeSim Scan (or modify one of the existing sample TradeSim scans). These are similar to the regular Scans in BullCharts. It specifies your trade entry and exit criteria.
  3. Run the BullCharts TradeSim scan.
  4. The scan will create a TradeSim "Trade database" - a list of stocks where your entry criteria were satisfied for a trade purchase, and those where your exit criteria were satisfied for an exit.
  5. Start TradeSim and open your "Trade database".
  6. Modify any parameters as required.
  7. Run a "simulation".
More details about this process are included in Robert's BullCharts eBook (pdf) Article BC-13-100 "TradeSim installation and execution" (for Toolbox Members only). Other Articles in Brainy's series are available from the Toolbox Members web pages.
