You generate the trade signals for the portfolio in Metastock and then
export them to TradeSim where the signals get processed and analyzed. You
can do fixed, % or volatility based position sizing. Only problem is that
the Enterprise version (Monte Carlo, very cool) is pricey. There is good
forum level support.

Hi Andrew:
  Does TradeSim provide a tools for analysing the equity curve?
  How many types of position sizing techiques does it include?
  Will the code for programming TradeSim be the same as the code for
Metastock?
Thank you for your suggestion
Eric
