You can force FastBreak Pro not to use the option, to use the option, or allow FastBreak
Pro to optimize whether to use the option.
This option is very effective, and we
recommend that you check the Yes box to always use the option.
To consider using the BAT function use the following screen options:
The parameters and control of the BAT option is very similar to BOOM. The default
parameters are reasonable and shouldn’t be changed.
You can control how the RAT option is used with these screen options:
If you want to use RAT except when BAT is active, you can choose Yes, No or Optimize.
If you want to use RAT with BAT the same options are available. If you always want to
use RAT then select both Yes radio buttons. If is probably more common to selection
Optimize for both. Note: For more information on RAT and BAT see the Standard
FastBreak manual, especially the details in the Appendix.
The Signal File is not an optimized option. If you select a signal file it is always used.
However, the Market Risk variable is optimized.
FastBreak Pro will try different percent risk values to meet your investment objectives. If
you know that you want to be 100% out of the market on a signal file sell, then put a
range of 0 to 0 in the risk text boxes. This will force strategies to always go to money
market on a signal sell. We recommend that you start with a range of 0 to 0. Note: If
you use a Market Risk other then zero (zero forces all positions to go 100% into money
market, i.e., zero risk) you must select an IS Start Date and OS Start Date that occurs
when your signal is on a Buy. This is because the optimizer assumes that the Balance
funds options are active. See Standard manual for additional details. If you don’t
follow this guidance, the performance values will be somewhat distorted. Also, see the
notes in the Standard manual regarding interpretation of Detail file results when the
Market Risk value is other than zero.
