Trade Timer

Optimize your trading with Trade Timer. Identify the best trading opportunities across stock groups for a given risk management strategy.

Find the Best Trades

Trade Timer lets you know when to trade by matching signals to returns as set by your risk management conditions. Each chart displays the profit (green bar) or loss (red bar) assuming a trade was entered on the given day. The key to unlocking the best of Trade Timer is for signals to align to the highest peaks of profit.

You can set exit conditions by adjusting the sliders for an initial target and stop, in addition to trailing target, stop and ultimate profit target. Changing these variables adjusts the height of the green/red profit bars.

Maximize Your Returns

In Analysis view you can view the overall return of your trade signal for a given exit condition based on your group of stocks.

Or alternatively, study the individual performance for each of stock for the same signal.

Your signal and exit condition is compared to buy-and-hold average return or buy-and-stop (effectively buying the stock every day over the lookback period and using a stop).

Improve Performance

With the Summary screen you can track changes made to stocks, entry and exit conditions. A summary screen updates the overall return for each metric whenever a change is made to or an entry or exit condition, or when a stock is added or removed.

Any return with factor greater than 1 ("1.0x") represents a signal which outperforms Buy&Hold.

In addition, signal performance bars for each stock show signal&stop returns compared to the underlying (dark shaded) bars for Buy&Hold.
