While most traders tend to focus on finding an "edge" in the markets -- a profitable trading system or method -- the greatest opportunity for profit is often found in methods for trading an existing system or method more successfully. These so-called money management methods, such as position sizing, are at the core of Market System Analyzer, a money management software application from Adaptrade Software.

Market System Analyzer (MSA) is designed to help maximize the performance of trading systems and methods. MSA can uncover tradable profit/loss patterns, optimize trade sizes, and avoid trades that have a low likelihood of success. The result is a higher percentage of winning trades, lower drawdowns, more consistent returns, and greater profitability.

Any active trader of stocks or futures, whether a day trader or position trader, could benefit from Market System Analyzer. MSA contains a unique combination of analytical tools, including original methods. By combining analysis options you'll discover new trading strategies for your existing trading systems and methods.
