Backtesting one strategies on many stocks

April 19th, 2019, 07:51 PM

Hi,

I'm completely new to MC, coming from TradeStation. In TS it is possible to backtest a single strategy on a basket of stocks, but the result shown is only a single equity line.

I would like to see performance reports of how the strategy behaved on each single stock, without having to manually put the strategy on separate charts.

This is because I'd like to test it against the whole S&P 500: is this possible, without having to input 500 stocks manually?

Many thanks!

Saturnix,

take a look at the report the Portfolio Trader generates, the "Breakdown By Symbols" section might be what you are looking for. Just click on an instrument's name in the Overview section.
