Custom Backtesting Applications

ETFreplay.com has built a number of applications which are variations of those on the site. The website backtests represent what we believe are our most robust methods. However, they are necessarily constrained by having to accommodate a wide variety of users. Furthermore, given the vast number of ETF choices available and the range of settings/filters possible, there are just too many possible combinations for us to put on the site – the website would become cluttered and the apps would be too complicated for many users.

However, if you are an experienced (professional) investor and you are interested in having us build an application specifically tailored to your research needs, contact us and we will outline what would be required and quote a price. Our existing infrastructure allows us to offer such custom solutions at reasonable cost.

Some thoughts on alternative applications:

Free from many of the design and technical restrictions that come with building an application for universal use, a custom app can focus on exactly what you would like. For example, custom ‘Core-Satellite’ ideas with specific functionality combinations (>10 ETFs / Mutual Funds, Moving Average Core with Relative Strength Satellite(s) etc….).

As many advisors are sensitive to trade frequency, we have thought through some answers that reduce trade activity yet still deliver attractive reward-risk. Each constraint imposed usually comes at a cost in terms of return – but we respect the fact that many professional advisors will not be able to rotate positions as often as individual investors.
