The difference between MetaStock's System Tester (MSST) and TradeSim
is like comparing night & day.
MSST is based on compound trades, and is buggy and difficult to use.
MSST doesn't take into account the trader's limited trading account.
You cannot go on trading after your capital is depleted. MSST keeps
on backtesting after the most massive drawdowns.
TradeSim considers entry & exit price slippage, testing on restricted
capital (i.e. real-life trading), drawdowns, and thorough Monte Carlo
testing and scatter plotting, just to mention the more important
points.
The number of variables available in TradeSim alone, would be
difficult to replicate in a charting package.
Take a look at this TradeSim backtest example:
