== Understanding Portfolio Trader ==
* Applying a trade strategy to a number of financial instruments simultaneously offers the following advantages:
* A diverse portfolio will produce more consistent results.* Infrequent trading opportunities will be more common across a number of symbols.* Portfolio strategies can maximize profit and minimize risks by dynamically allocating a portfolio’s capital based on each instrument’s performance.* Portfolio strategies can enter, scale-in, scale-out, or exit positions based on the portfolio’s overall performance.* Portfolio strategies are generally more robust and less susceptible to over-optimization.
* By backtesting on a diverse portfolio, instruments best suitable for that particular trading strategy can be selected.
'''Performance Graph''' gives a visual representation of portfolio performance. The following values are shown:
* Initial Capital.* Net Profit.* Equity.* Buying Power.
