Global Parameters

Top  Previous  Next

Global parameters affect every system in the test and include global equity management parameters like: Account Balance, Equity Base, etc. as well as Simulation Parameters like slippage, commission, and interest rate assumptions. This section describes the Global Parameters.

 

The Global Parameters are further divided into three sections:

 

System Allocations

When multiple systems are active, each can be allocated a percentage of the equity.

 

Simulation Parameters

General parameters like commission rates, slippage assumptions, interest rate assumptions, etc.

 

Equity Management Parameters

Parameters affecting the equity management including the starting account balance, the leverage, the type of equity used for position sizing calculations known as the Trading Equity, etc.
