Quantitative Analysis

The Kershner Trading Group Quantitative Team provides the support needed by traders to grow individual performance in several ways.

Market Screening

The Quantitative Team programs stock screens to find the entry conditions that meet the needs of individual traders. In addition, they program alerts to exit positions.

Stock screens can be as simple as looking for stocks that have hit daily highs, or more complex, like searching the depth of the Open Book or looking for chart patterns. Screens can use most technical analysis metrics like MACDs or Bollinger Bands. The existing screens cover a broad spectrum of trading styles. Traders can choose from 1400 existing active screens or define custom screens.

Autotrading

The same tool that sends alerts for entries and exits can also be used to paper-trade a model and to send live orders to the ordering system, so there’s no translation necessary to convert a working model into an autotrading system. A system can be paper-traded real-time with simulated entry and exit prices, and a daily analysis of the model will be emailed to the trader the following morning. When the trader is satisfied with the results of the paper-trading system, it can be converted to an autotrading system and connected to that trader’s account.

Trading Analysis

The Quantitative Team is available for private consultations to provide insight into trader performance based on their trading data. Traders gain an extra edge from specific ideas on what to change based on detail analysis of individual trading behavior. Trading suggestions are based on detailed analysis of past trades and are tailored to fit the trader’s style.

Reporting

The Quantitative Team analyzes the trading history of all of our traders to find new correlations between trading patterns and performance. Daily, weekly and monthly reports on individual trading performance are provided via email. Additionally, the traders can generate any of the 34 reports at any time for any time frame.
