Hi,

Can someone let me know your experience on which of the following software/tools might be the best option for position sizing, diversification, portfolio management and analysis?
- Market System Analyser (MSA - Adaptrade)
- Portfolio Analyst Pro (PAPro - Trademaid)
- Titan (A. Unger)

Is there any other portfolio management software I should be looking into as well?

Cheers,

Quite interesting, I didn't know these tools even existed. I would be rather curious to find out how they compute the risk managent strategy

I'm working with Titan from 1 year and using Portfolio Builder QTLab too, but I can't say I've found an ideal solution for my portfolio yet

Cheers,

I spent one year developing mine with Python. I was (not) a (good) sw programmer in my previous life, a lot time passed and I had to restart from scratch. It was hard but I admit I'm quite satisfy at t he moment.
I adopted a main engine based on equity curve management, recently added a light position management feature (1 or 2 contracts).

I wrote some add-on on NT8 to make much more easy to export historical trades. I had to, working with 100+ strategies at the moment. It tooks less than one hour to export, transfer from VPS to local PC, run the portfolio manager, enable the proposed strategies.
I usually adjust my strategies on a weekly base.

The good part is that a back test is always performed till the week before with some kind of walking forward. So, once decided a parameter setup, I have validation and proposal for next week in one shot.

I'm more than happy to share further info in case.

Very impressive ! Do you have any written documentation for your creation ?
Does it need to be adapted to accomodate another platform like Multicharts ?

No written docs but I will put together something and post here.
The tool is agnostic, just need a set of csv files, one per strategy, including only closing date and cumulative gain for each trade (at the moment partial close not managed).
I designed the tool to work on one year data, rolling. So, last year actually.

See attached example (oh, I put a naming rule on filename, to start with "MS__")

Once you are able to pack data this way it should be possible to make it run.

The first column has inconsistent date formats:
31/08/2022 09:56:00
2/9/2022 3:35

The equity column goes from small numbers to huge numbers. Why ?
56.5
269

In my systems, both remote and local PC, the format is ok, it could be a matter of import in your excell or csv viewer. Try something different, even Notepad to check.
