Counterfactual Trading – Point-and-Click Strategies and Education for NinjaTrader® and TradeStation®

The downloadable point-and-click strategies for NinjaTrader® and TradeStation® below use counterfactual trading logic. They allow you to plug in your own entry and exit logic to create a trading strategy that only places actual trades when your preferred number of most recent entry and exit signals “would have” produced trades either above or below your preferred profit level. These strategies use Lists to keep track of what “would have happened” if an actual trade had been entered every time your entry logic triggered and if those actual trades were exited every time your exit logic triggered to create a real-time, up-to-date historical list of possible trades and their hypothetical trading performance. In these strategies, the trades not taken despite the entry signal trigger occurring are referred to as “counterfactual trades”.
