Stock Predictor guide
Running a Trading Strategy
Stock Predictor comes with about two dozen built-in trading strategies. A trading strategy is a set of objective rules that define entry (buy) and exit (sell) points – patterns in the stock price, volume or, most often, technical indicators.
Because the rules are objective, they are not affected by intuition or emotion. Some were developed decades ago and are still used by traders today. Stock Predictor lets you test these strategies on historical data, fine-tune them for a group of stocks and base your buy and sell decisions on an objective method.
Run a strategy
- Click the Strategies tab on the left panel and select a strategy in the list. A short description of its rules appears below.
- Click Run.
- Red and green arrows appear on the Daily Chart, and the transactions are listed in the Trading History tab.
The date range matters. By default a strategy is evaluated over the last year. To use another range, open the Trading History tab, change Starting Date and Ending Date, and click Recalculate.
To use one strategy for buy signals and another for sell signals, see combined strategies.
