New Feature Request: Strategy Analalyzer

[simple_goodoboy]

Hello,

Request:

1. Add average annual return
2. Add average annual return for S&P 500 index (this way we compare the strategy results to simply buy and hold the index fund.

Basically in the results section I believe it will be beneficial to compare back test results to S&P 500 index fund.

Thanks

Hello simple_goodoboy,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I would agree, these would be useful metrics and will submit a feature request for these.

In the meantime, you could create these metrics yourself and have them displayed in the strategy analyzer.

Thank you Alan,

I am still a bit newbie to the NT8 Strategy Analyzer and Performance Report.

Are you saying I can custom modify my reporting to show the S&P 500 index returns as a comparison right now in Strategy Analyzer?

Thanks,

Hello simple_goodoboy,

Correct. You would open a NS editor and double click on the performance metrics folder.

Hello simple_goodoboy,

I'm unaware of existing training videos on creating performance metrics however I was able to find 2 samples on the forum.
