Dashboard improvements

We have added the following new options to dashboard window headers to make it easier and quicker to access related tools:

  • C - click to open a new browser tab containing the Charts page that’s auto populated with both securities from the dashboard window
    C appears above Ratio MA chart and TRD chart
     
  • B - click to open a new browser tab with the relevant Backtest auto-populated with the securities / portfolio and parameters from the dashboard window
    B appears above Ratio MA chart, MA chart, CHL chart, TRD chart and Ranks
     
  • PS - click to open a new browser tab containing the Parameter Performance Summary that's auto-populated with the securities / portfolio and parameters from the dashboard window.
    (note: Parameter Performance Summaries are available to annual subscribers, both regular and pro)
    PS appears above Ratio MA chart, MA chart, CHL chart, TRD chart and Ranks.

In addition, if all windows on a dashboard are TRD charts, a TRD Lookback drop-down-list now appears at the top of the page, beneath the ‘through’ date selector.  This drop-down-list controls all the TRD charts on the dashboard, making it very easy to switch between lookback lengths.

By default it is set to 'Saved Value'; each of the TRD charts displays its own saved lookback length. If the drop-down-list is changed to 9-day, for example, then all the TRD charts on the dashboard will be recalculated and display a 9-day TRD. etc.

We have added some new functionality to the Core-Satellite backtest, Tracking Error tool and Dashboard.

 

Core-Satellite

The Core-Satellite backtest has an updated look and the Hold Filter, which we recently added to the Portfolio RS and RS - Combine Portfolios, can now be applied to either (or both) of the satellites.

The appearance of the other parallel relative strength backtests, the sequential RS and various regime backtests has been similarly updated.

 

Tracking Error tool

The tracking error values now link through to the ETF charts page, which will automatically load the two securities over the specified duration and display their performance.

Introducing Dashboards: A Way To Help Organize Workflow In Research & ETF Portfolio Backtesting

We have added Dashboards as a new feature to the website so that subscribers can easily view multiple models and/or markets in one place.

Dashboards can be used in numerous different ways, including:

  • to view market activity from various angles with a mixture of several different models
  • to look at one model applied to several different ETFs / markets
  • to monitor different variations of a single model

etc etc.

Most importantly, you have the choice of how to set up your own personal dashboard(s).

To create a dashboard:

  1. From 'My Account' in the top menu, choose 'My Dashboards'
  2. Click 'Add Dashboard' button in the top right corner, enter a name and click save
  3. A dashboard with 6 empty windows will now appear
  4. Click the 'Add Item' button in top right corner of one of the empty windows
  5. Choose between:
    1. 'Screener'
    2. 'Ranks'
    3. 'Ratio Chart'
    4. 'MA Chart'
    5. 'MA List'
    6. 'Channel Chart'
  6. Enter the rest of the required details, click 'Save' and the desired chart or table will appear in the window.
  7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for the other empty windows, up to a total of 6 per dashboard
  8. Items can be edited / removed by clicking 'Edit Item' in the top right corner of the required window
  9. The 'through' date can be changed via the calendar control in the top left corner
