PLANTATION, Fla., Feb. 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TradeStation, the award-winning broker-dealer and futures commission merchant, today announced the release of Portfolio Maestro, a powerful new addition to its analysis and trading platform that enables traders to quickly and precisely evaluate strategies for multiple symbols simultaneously.
Portfolio Maestro is a highly sophisticated tool that provides portfolio-level performance reporting, risk assessment and optimization for virtually any combination of symbols and strategies. It utilizes a relative approach in evaluating (back-testing) portfolios – the approach that closely simulates the actual performance that could be achieved if the portfolio were traded in real time. Portfolio Maestro's performance and optimization reports – including advanced analytics such as Monte Carlo Analysis, Correlation Analysis, Walk-Forward Analysis and Genetic Optimizations – provide a complete analysis of the portfolio from multiple perspectives.
"TradeStation's new Portfolio Maestro is a premier tool for portfolio-level back-testing and a 'must-have' for those who trade multiple symbols and strategies," said Salomon Sredni, Chief Executive Officer of TradeStation. "Portfolio Maestro is closely integrated with the TradeStation platform, offering seamless access to strategies and data for traders at every level. This is yet another example of TradeStation providing our clients with easy-to-use tools that can simplify even the most complex strategy analysis tasks."
