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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Run the BullCharts TradeSim scan.
- 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.
- Start TradeSim and open your "Trade database".
- Modify any parameters as required.
- Run a "simulation".
