  1. What is the difference between the paid version and the evaluation version of the RapidSP Simulator?

    The software in evaluation mode will only be able to use example tick data files with few days of data available for trading. Other than that the evaulation version has all the features of the purchased version and never expires. Once purchased (activated) the evaluation version will work with any of the data files available on RapidSP download site.

  2. I just downloaded free simulator to day trade stocks. However, the only symbol I see is Cisco system (csco). Do I have to purchase the full software to experience real trades like the one taking place in the market?

    Software runs in a full trial mode (just like a purchased version) with default data file CSCO. You can download more example data files for use with evaluation version or regular data files for use with purchased version at our download site.

  13. What time zones are the ticks’ data is captured? Is it EST or something else?

    The time zone is U.S. Eastern time (New York time).

  14. Is it possible to add my own data from my existing data sources?

    RapidSP Simulator uses the proprietary data files, but the tick data can be exported.

  15. Can I export tick data from the data files?

    Yes. All the RapidSP tick data can be exported in tick or one minute CSV format. Wordpad is a good tool to read the (very) large data files if you need to for some reason.

  16. Can I add few proprietary indicators? What about a way for users to add their own indicators?

    At this point we do not have a provision to add proprietary indicators.

  17. Does the simulator support multiple time frames?

    You can select any time frame from 1-minute bars to all the way up to 4 hr bars. You make this selection in the trading setup screen that is shown when you start the simulator.

  18. When you set the time rate (RT, 2X, etc.), does this mean that the instances in which the price is updated changes on a set time period?

    Not really. For example for going from RT to 2X the # of ticks plotted stay the same but they are plotted faster than real time.

  19. Is the price updated as it occurred historically?

    The answer is yes and no. The answer is no because even at moderate trading activity, there are simply too many ticks to display. So some redundant ones are not plotted by the simulator (will slow it down considerably since the simulator is usually run at faster than market speed). The answer is yes because it still captures the price action (which is what matters) in small time frames. So the open-high-low-close over few seconds or a minute or over few minutes will always be correct. So dropping redundant ticks has no impact on price action or trading results.

  20. Will the simulator simulate pick up in activity by moving the price around rapidly?

    Yes. The price action will always be correct, if the prices are moving around rapidly the simulator will display the correct price action.

  21. When you load up tick data into the simulator, how does the simulator determine which day to select? Is that just random?

    Simulator selects a day on its own and shows it in the control panel window, but you can click on the arrow and select a day from the calendar drop down.

  22. How to apply the technical indicators?

    Press ”Pause” button from the “Control Panel” to apply the technical indicators. Select any chart window (for e.g. Chart1- 1 min) you get the technical indicator menu bar (Chart, Top Studies, Bottom studies etc). Select the different types of studies by clicking on either of Top Studies/bottom Studies/Volume Studies/Line Studies menu. Click on the indicator drop down menu, select the indicator you wish to add and click on it. A dialog box will appear that will allow input of parameters for that study

  23. Why I have to ‘Pause’ the simulator to add a trend line?

    This was basically done since the chart keeps on moving towards left as more and more price action is plotted. Trying to draw a trend line on a moving chart can be difficult especially if you are doing a high-speed plot. To avoid the confusion caused by different way of operating at different speeds, a 'pause' was made necessary at all speeds.

  24. Sometimes a chart would somehow get under the tab at the top and I can’t figure out any way to get it back. Can you help?

    Get a trading day going & click on any non-chart window (such as control panel). Then on top menu click on window => tile

  25. How can I arrange windows?

    Click on any non chart window (for example 'control panel') and then click on window=> tile on the top menu.

  26. Can your simulator run two different data series simultaneously to simulate? For e.g. Can I run a simulation for the E-mini as well as CSCO?

    The simulator cannot run two series at the same time but if they can be in different windows then you can always fire two copies of the simulator on the same computer and open different instruments

  27. Does the simulator keep track of the trades I make & then be able to visually display this on the relevant chart?

    RapidSP does keep the track of trades in a separate log file. You can track those trades on the chart, which is highlighted by green up arrow for “Buy” & red down arrow for “Sold”

  28. OHLC bars are very small. How can I make these bigger by viewing a smaller time window, which in turn will make the bars bigger?

    Go into any chart window & click on the “Up ward arrow button” to expand the bars vertically & “downward arrow button” to compress the bars.

  29. Can I use three different Bollinger band on the same chart and have the ability to change the deviations?

    Yes.

  30. The data supplied, is it 24 hour data?

    Yes, for instruments that are traded 24 hrs. a day.

  31. Does the software support hedging i.e. taking one buy contract and one sell contract at the same time.

    Yes.
