Modifying entry to capital available

Post by johnmott59 »

Hi there,

I'm doing some simulations using the High Probability ETF strategies but the question probably applies to all templates.

Is there a way to keep the back testing from opening new positions if the cash available is 0?

Alternatively how would I modify the 'number of open positions'? I see that field in the template setups but it doesn't let me modify it. If I could restrict the number of open positions that would be a good approximation.

Thanks!

You can adjust it in the Trade Simulation Module on the right. That is really helpful, because the Simulation will let you take on limitless qualifying entries, which gives an unrealistic profit projection, since you have limited capital.

Thank you for your response. I was working in the 'EdgeClub Templates' tab Performance Report but see that there is better control over these in the 'Trade Simulation' tab.

The performance drops quite a bit when you add in limited capital.
