StockReflex & SST Strategy
I have had quite a few emails from SST Members on this asking how accurately it tests their trading ability and helps train the SST strategy rules specifically.
As you may know, I am very keen on this clever piece of software, I genuinely think it is the best trading tester/trainer I have ever seen.
The owner has built the DMI Indicator into the program specifically for SST and due to pressure from SST Members he has now added the ability to short trade.
So to answer the question: You can add a 50 MA and you can add an 8 DMI so the basic elements are there. What you cannot do is enter the trade at a specific SST trigger price - the program will always enter you at the closing price on the day when you hit the buy/sell button.
Also, closing a trade has to be judged visually. You know the rules for the stop loss in SST so just keep an eye on each day as you click through and close (cover) the trade when you think the stop would be hit. Again the program closes the trade at the closing price for that day.
So precise opening and closing prices displayed on screen are not perfect for SST strategy and therefore the results displayed on screen are not perfect but they are a pretty good indication and I don't think that degree of accuracy is essential in order to learn a great deal about your ability to trade successfully.
Remember that you can add trend lines and support/resistance levels as described on the SST Members website (Secondary Trade Selection) so it will certainly teach you a lot about how these things link with SST strategy to improve the quality of trade selection and prevent some whipsaws.
If you REALLY want to have more accurate SST entries and exits you can but you will need your calculator and a notepad by your side together with the exact SST strategy rules and it will take you a little longer to page through the days and track each trade.
I still believe that whether you apply the SST strategy totally accurately or simply make a judgement visually each day it is the best training tool available to traders and will teach you far more about your trading than any book at the same price.
If you have not already done so, take a few minutes to look at the video.

If you already have StockReflex but have not had the free upgrade to include short selling then use the link above then "Downloads". Download the Free Demo and because you have already purchased the system it will overwrite and upgrade your current program with a new fully functional program.
Have fun.
