Trading Systems Builder | Backtester

This post is about the slideshows related to ‘writing’ and creating your own Trading Systems and backtesting them in ChartAlert

1–2 minutes

Custom Trading Systems – based on your own custom algorithms – can be written and backtested to study the current technical status and/or overall trading performance of a symbol.

The custom trading systems can be run on any time-frame . . . daily or weekly, short- or medium-term, etc. , and the custom trading system mask can also display automated Buy and Sell signals on the chart.

Backtesting these custom trading systems will also generate a lot of performance stats that can be used to help tweak your custom trading systems.

Templates or Chart Layouts

This post is about the slideshows and demo videos related to creating an unlimited no. of Templates and using them over and over again across charts in ChartAlert

Let us suppose you like to analyze symbols with DMI, MACD, RSI, Stochastics, Bollinger Bands, Parabolic SAR, 20-/ 50-/ 100-/ 200-day EMA.

Plot all of them on a chart and save all of this information in a Template . . . then apply the Template to any other chart with just a few clicks.
