Backtesting PortfoliosWhen researching a trading methodology it is important to be able to combine several strategies into one portfolio, and to see how a strategy performs in comparison with other strategies in the portfolio over time. It is also important to have clear metrics on the performance of the overall portfolio. No other platform enables the range of portfolio testing that is found in Portfolio Maestro where you can:
