Multiple Symbols for each Trading System

Portfolio object - allows multiple Symbols for each trading system

Trading multiple symbols against a single trading system solves two common problems:

  • A single symbol trading system might not produce enough trades for the result to be statistically meaningful
  • A single symbol trading system might trade infrequently or in bursts, resulting in long periods of trading inactivity, followed by many signals.

Simply add a symbol to the portfolio and Seer will do the rest

Seer makes it easy to use multiple symbols with a trading system, simply add the symbols to the portfolio that's associated with the system!

Seer will backtest and optimize multiple symbols in a single pass ensuring you have the most realistic trading results possible. Seer engine will cope with missing data, trading system variables, mixing of asset types, and other issues associated with multiple symbols including the effect on your account cash balances as multiple orders are placed on the same bar.

Once a trading system with multiple symbols has been backtested you'll be able to view charts with the trades plotted as well as view results broken down by symbol. Changing between symbols is easy, select the symbol from the drop down list or just use the arrow keys!
