    Regarding the NASDAQ Strategies, I’m getting a little lost. In Quanttrader, you have the NASDAQ 100 Hedged. On the web site in the members area, you have the NASDAQ 100 Top Rotation Strategy and in the Solutions section, you have the NASDAQ 100 Meta strategy. I think a little clarification is in order.

    Also, is the Meta strategy going to be made available in the Quanttrader software?

    Same problem here. As a workaround I use a snapshot of the Strategy screen and then store it in Evernote. When the ini file is updated, if is fairly easy to recreate the strategies.

    So, I just replace the current Stockitems and Stocklists in my .ini file and save?

    The ini file is in the same location as the images. You should be able to download it from there. I tried to attach it but got “Error! File type not allowed.”

    When I create a duplicate of a portfolio, I get different results on the duplicate and the original portfolio.

    In this link, you can see the NASDAQ 100 Hedged portfolio and the Duplicate Portfolio performance. Both screen shots were within a few minutes of each other.

    Update: This occurred several times today as I was trying to understand what’s happening. I just ran it again and the problem went away. Rather confusing. any ideas? Possible interday data may have caused a problem?

    Still having an issue on the Return Charts. Check the link below to the files in question. Image A shows the Return of #NASDAQ100 is flatlined. Image B shows no data for #NASDAQ100. However the performance in the Return charts appears correct and the Summary is correct. I have included the ini files in the link below also.

    I used to be able to close the Backtester and reopen it and the problem went away. Won’t work now.

    When using a “Portfolio of Portfolios”, the Current allocation displays allocation to the sub portfolios. How do I see the allocation down to the Stocks/ETFs and Funds that are actually traded?

    Regarding the strategy “The Beast” you are working on. I have a couple of questions:

    1. Since it is a Portfolio of Portfolios, is there an easy way to get down to the Stocks/ETF’s and percentages you need to invest in? the Top portfolio just shows the sub portfolios and percentages. I assume you then have to run the sub portfolios and work the percentages which I can do, but looking for a better way.

    2. Just curious – have you put any real money on this strategy?

    Thanks,

    Lane

    I prefer FolioFn for trading. You can set the percentages of each Stock, ETF you trade in a portfolio and they will make the necessary buy/sell transactions to accomplish same. They calculate the stock shares down to 4 decimal places….

    Good morning, just getting started with Quanttrader and have a question. Looking at the #NASDAQ 100 hedged portfolio, it appears to take the Nasdaq 100 Meta strategy and combine it with a hedge. I noticed that if I run the 100 hedged it selects 4 stocks, AAPL, MU NVDA amd SYMC. However, the current positions in the NASDAQ 100 Meta are NVDA, MU STX and WDC.

    Not sure this real critical but it is a confusion factor for me. comments?
