VirtualTrader For TradeStation, Advanced Training Simulator For Professional Traders, Version 2.0 (Titan Trading Analytics Inc.). Testing and trading simulator plus intraday tick data. by John Sweeney If putting your personal wealth on the line doesn’t excite you, perhaps practicing at it will. Though they aren’t going to have the off-the- planet graphics and sound of a Nintendo video game, you can still get a pretty good buzz from playing a trading game — and you may even learn something in the process. VirtualTrader training simulator in-stalls on your computer and into your copy of TradeStation. It’s a unique installation that works perfectly and is amazing to watch as your screen dances around. The result is a trading system of sorts that you manage from the screen as you go along. In other words, you are the trading system. It’s worth mentioning at this point that vendor Titan Trading Analytics will also send along a pile of tick data for you to use in getting up to speed. The program installs with three demos as well, but the tick data comes from all the daytrading favorites: Standard & Poor’s 500, the S&P mini, Treasury bonds and currencies. For indices, it has the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), S&P cash, S&P 500 futures, NASDAQ, transports, utilities, TICK, TICKI, and S&P premium. These provide a nice practice milieu. |
