We are excited to introduce our new, simplified Graphical User Interface to help our more cautious users get their feet wet.

The Simple Run page utilizes a few key parameters and allows users to start backtesting simpler strategies. 

While a GUI like this is an implementation that feels more familiar to most people, it will always require huge compromises in terms of functionalities and flexibility due to its nature. For this reason, we developed the Simple Run with the features we believe provide the most user benefits:

• Leg selection by DTE and Delta 
• Delta hedging by a simple click

The full feature-set of the Simulator remains available via the Job Editor; its custom-made, simplified Domain Specific Language is how the complete set of functionalities is made available. This includes functions that are not possible or difficult to display on a graphical interface, so you don’t have to settle for less complex strategies.

We encourage you to start playing with the Simple Run. If you made it this far in this article, you have the necessary attention span to start experimenting with advanced features. 

The documentation of this new feature will be published soon; however, we were so excited about this new development we decided to release it immediately.

We are excited to see our users start playing with this shiny new toy, so we reset and increased the number of available runs for our users with free accounts.

Head to the Portal and try it out!  

The new release includes the following features (and some bugfixes):

• Events Tab Export
• Portal viewable without registration
• Strategy Template: ThetaEngine

This was the first time David Sun's ThetaEngine strategy was made available in an automated backtester. If you want to know more about David and our implementation of his strategy, read our blog post!

During this period, there were over 6500 backtests executed by our users covering more than 47000 simulation years! 🙌

The new release includes the following features which our users most requested:

• Multiple positions in flight (aka Campaign mode)
• Built-in indicators
• IV Rank and Percentile
• Equity CSV Export
• Updated Documentation
• And numerous performance and usability enhancements

Pricing​

This year in trading is a real differentiator for options trading: High- and smart beta strategies are equally suffering due to the lack of a bull market.

At the same time, theta harvesting strategies enable option sellers to collect premiums.

To remove the barrier to entry and make options backtesting (and therefore, trading) more accessible to everyone, we reduced our pricing to provide the most competitive one on the market:

• Monthly: $50
• Yearly: $420 (or $35 / month)

Our customers who signed up for a more expensive plan will also benefit from our pricing reduction. We'll contact you soon.

Features and performance​

To provide a more accurate simulation of how options traders take their strategies live, we implemented a way to keep Multiple Positions in Flight (also known as Campaign Mode).

Some users use indicators and/or IV Rank and Percentile to fine-tune their entries and exits. 

To provide means to do post-simulation analysis, we created the Equity CSV Export feature, which allows users to download the simulation equity over time as a CSV file for a given simulation run. 

As the new features drastically increased the number of data points processed during a run, we took additional steps to increase our unparalleled execution speed further.

With aggressive and speculative caching, we managed to achieve super-linear speedup:

In campaign mode, the execution time for every position in flight is reduced by 20%!

Our advanced option strategy backtesting simulator is now available to register and subscribe to.

Some shared strategies inside the Trading Dominion community achieved Sharpe ratio above 3!

We are excited to help more fellow option traders do research and iterate through simulations as fast as never before!

We have two types of accounts:

• Free: read-only one (which allows you to look at shared results)
• Standard Plan: $75/month or $600/year incl. a 3-days-trial

For more information on our features, look at our documentation or the Strategy Test Run Sample shared in our User Guide.
