BACK TESTING, PAPER TRADE AND LIVE TRADE PORTFOLIO’S
Backtesting results are hypothetical and are simulated on historical data, Paper Trade results are simulated on live market data and Live Trade Portfolio’s are actual trade results. The performance results have certain inherent limitations. Backtest and Paper Trade results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. These trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact especially when we have lack of liquidity in the market or news driven events or any other conditions. Simulated or hypothetical trading strategies in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to the results shown Backtest, Paper Trade or Live Traded Portfolio’s. They are the past result’s and using the same strategy may have the negative results in future.
In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading Strategies in spite oftrading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific Strategies trading which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
Historical and live data is subjected to variations from the data generated at market due to inefficiency of the systems to capture all the data and standard data adjustments.
