What is a trading strategy?
We define a trading strategy as a set of objective rules that define entry (buy) and exit (sell) points – patterns in the behavior of the stock price, volume or, more commonly, technical indicators. The strength of these rules is that they are not subjective like 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, adjust and fine-tune them for a particular group of stocks, and automate the rules so that your buy and sell decisions follow an objective methodology.
Trading strategies
Stock Predictor has 23 built-in trading strategies – moving averages, RSI, stochastic, Williams %R, Directional Movement, Bollinger Bands, breakouts and filters – and lets you combine any two of them. See sample strategy charts or browse all strategies with their buy and sell rules.
- Moving Averages Crossing, Relative Strength Index, Slow Stochastic Oscillator, Williams %R and Directional Movement examples
