Data
Having good data for backtesting is the backbone of your trading operation. Wealth-Lab supports dozens of data providers, and we offer the amazing Wealth-Data right out of the box. This includes dynamic DataSets like the Dow 30 and Nasdaq 100 that contain the real world modifications of the indices over time.

Countless performance metrics, graphs, and reports. This goes for optimizations too, including "Parameter Stability" 3D graphs. Like the rest of Wealth-Lab, this is all extendable with extensions we provide, or you can build yourself.
