V.15:14 (696-699): Product Review: Performance Summary Plus/Portfolio Evaluator by John Sweeney
Product Description
Performace Summary Plus/Portfolio Evaluator, Verson 2.1, Revision 86 (RINA Systems, Inc.). Software for analyzing trading system or market performance and for highlighting areas for improvement. Requires TradeStation or SuperCharts. by John Sweeney
Reading a trading system performance summary can be dry work. As more and more systems produce more and more elaborate summaries, the work becomes truly stultifying. Sometimes you must drive through ranks of measures and statistics that have been computed at the request of someone, sometime, somewhere, but the summary results can lack an overall theme or paradigm for easy performance analysis. Getting your results into a format that really helps you modify your system or practices can be a challenge.
Portfolio Evaluator from RINA Systems (RINA stands for Research Investments Analytics) doesn’t beat all these issues, but as a comprehensive performance analysis package, it certainly helps the user to start identifying what counts and what to use. The package actually contains two levels of software, moving from basic to advanced: Performance Summary Plus Professional and Portfolio Evaluator, and you choose which level of software you want to register for and purchase. I took a look at the highest-level software, Portfolio Evaluator. Performance Summary Plus Professional allows you to evaluate your trading system on one market, while Portfolio Evaluator gives you the ability to test your trading system on many markets combined, as well as individual markets. Portfolio Evaluator also allows you to combine several trading systems to analyze their joint performance.
